Jolly Viking. Parts 1 to 12.

(Here are parts 1 to 12 in logic order at one page.)

Part 1

-Gentleman and women, thank you for coming at so short notice. We are now in code orange. Russia has last night dropped a brigade of paratroopers to Uuland that is between Finland and Sweden…

-That is Åland, sir.

-… Ooland, thank you general, and has mobilized it’s Baltic Fleet to Baltic Sea in full force. They are also flying at the international airspace with full weapon loads and we have also satellite images that indicate large Russian military moves at Murmansk, Carelia, Leningrad, Pskov and whole western military district. We assume they will cross Finnish border at any time.

-Finland and Russia is in war? Are they threatening any NATO members?

-Sir, if I may, Russia has not declared a war, yet. Finnish president is not available right now and the Finland’s official reports are kinda not accurate at the moment. They have send one F-18 Hornet over Aland and what we have understood from their military communications, they are kinda confused. The Russian VDV Brigade or lets say, size of a Brigade, is very possibly from Pskov 76th airborne division. We have intel that the 104th Regiment soldiers have all deleted their social media accounts and also Finnish internet is down. Our NATO members have no indication of Russian hostilities at the moment, or let’s say higher than normal. But let’s say this, the amount of energy over Baltic Sea is now so high that it fries any bird that flies…

-Well, sir, what they did was, they dropped first company of special forces to Marienhamn airport that took control of it, then they flew in with mixed airplane columns, like normal passenger planes, then Iljushins with equipment and so on. It’s only 30 minutes from Leningrad or Pskov to target zone. They also had special forces at the passenger ferries that travel between Sweden and Finland. We believe these took control of the Marienhamn harbor. Reports are still not confirmed, but there is 4 large landing ships and heavy escort heading now from Kaliningrad to Marienhamn.

-So if we saw it, why didn’t we warn the Finns?

-Well sir, we did. But at that time there was so much activity from the Russian Air Force in the Baltic Sea that it must been buried under the noise. There was 28 fighters 34 passenger planes, cargo and other stuff at the same time, not to mention the 3 Tupolev’s that went over sonic near Danish Straits. And Finns have their own radars, they were active but went suddenly black at 2345 zulu.

-But Finland has 63 F-18’s, they didn’t response?

-It’s little problematic, Åland is demilitarized zone. By the decision of United Nations. Russia raised a question about this special status in UN just few months ago. They demanded a ”international” inspection with the OSCE there and made clear that they will not tolerate any kinda military activity there. Finns got probably scared and hesitate. Besides Finnish Air Force hasn’t use lethal force in over 70 years. They have this ”peacekeeping” mentality strong in their tradition…

-But Finland is responsible of defending that area or is it Sweden?

-Yes, Finns are responsible of that. The people of Aland speak Swedish and their culture is somewhere in the middle. Finns and Swedes have good co-operation and kinda military pact… or lets say that Sweden understands the importance of Finland between them and Russia. But it’s a whole new ball game when Kaliningrad is there. And I mean comparing to the WW2 stuff, if that’s in some of yours minds.

-General, please show the map. It might clear the picture.

-Horrible graphics, General. You made it yourself?

-Sir, well… yes. We are waiting until the news break out and use some of their media maps. We don’t want to tell people what we exactly know because then Russia knows what we don’t know and so on.

-Good enough. Gentlemen, you can now see clearly how Aland is critical for us too.

-It’s Åland sir…

-Shut the fuck up general. It is war zone now.

-War zone? Is there any reports of shooting, dead or similar?

-You mean like in Crimea? Communications are poor at the moment but we have some updates on facebook, twitter, insta and so on that show stunned people watching Russian soldiers patrolling at the main streets of Marienhamn. There’s been some explosions here and there, we believe it is just psychological harassment to scare people. One radio amateur was sending S O S and report of Russian invasion but was silenced one hour ago. There is lot of hunting rifles there, we believe some kinda resistance will occur when the morning is raising. It is 0215 zulu, that is 0415 at Ål… sorry, Aland now.

-But Finland will attack, that is illegal occupation isn’t it? I mean Finns have a strong Army, over 200k strong I believe…

-Well, Finns have a strong Army. On paper. I mean they are a reserve Army, they don’t actually have 100% war ready units. Or they have few elements like rapid force type company or two, they can get armed and ready in 24 hours like 2 Battalions, one or two squadrons of F-18’s and some Navy units. On paper they can get over 100k strong Army in 3 or 4 weeks.

-But they have 4 Brigades, Pori, Nyland, Kainy and Sodakylae! Also regiments like communications, air defense, paratroopers and best tanks in the world! Haven’t they prepared for shit like this?

-Well, sir, those are conscript training units that they call Brigades. Or regiments. They can’t use conscripts until they have been trained. Their law also prohibits the use of conscripts in war.

-What? Their law doesn’t allow to use…

-…their conscripts in crises situations. Yes. They have some very problematic things in their system. It is basically the same thing that was in WW2. They have kept it just like Russia has accepted. Only from reserve you can call up an Army. And it has to be done in proper order, people have to be informed months before, they need all kinda preparations like taking trucks, tractors, machinery from civilians, making storages, securing railway hubs, airports and so on. And they are politically kinda messed up. Finlandization has done massive damage there and Russia knows this perfectly. In Russian jokes Finns are always the slow guys who don’t react to anything. I believe they trust in this here too.

-I need to correct you sir, they have a 24 hour 25k strong force that has been carefully selected and very motivated. It is…

-…peanuts. Sir. And it is not at Aland. It is sleeping right now, probably drunk because yesterday was their independence day. That could be why we haven’t found the Chief Commander, President Nyynystoe yet.

-It’s Ninnistoe, sir.

-What ever he is, he is not available. The second in command won’t do any decisions without him.

-Sir! We have a report that Russian Su-27 has shot down Finnish Air Force F-18 over Baltic Sea, near Aland. Pilot has ejected and is being rescued now by Swedish coast guards. It’s on your screens now.

-Goddamn. That’s developing. Was the Finn attacking? Ah, there it is, the Finn has his transponder on, looks like few million people are watching flight radar like shit. Wise move from Finns. They didn’t shoot, did they even have weapons on that plane? Would be really good if they didn’t have any sidewinders on. Publicity is war zone you know…

-General, if I may remind that this is textbook Russian operation. They are creating a no-fly zone just like in Ukraine. I’m pretty sure that in those 4 landing ships are S-400 battalion and that Marienhamn’s airport is surrounded by Gophers, Strelas and other AA stuff. Also you need to look that Baltic Fleet map, they have massive anti-aircraft capability there. Besides the radar activity all along the Finnish border is indicating their S-400’s are hot and ready, the whole Finnish air space is covered right now. I’m quite sure they are grounding all their aircrafts now to avoid losses. And to not escalate the situation.

-Escalate the situation? What do you mean?

-Finns need to buy time. They have been surprised.

-We all have been. Why our intelligence didn’t see this? Where was our reports of Russian military? This is…

-Well, sir, we have reported this possibility many times. One scenario was Gotland, the Swedish Island just across Kaliningrad. In one of our war games they do it just like this, first Aland, then Gotland and Baltic Sea is theirs. In one plan otherwise. Also they might just keep Aland because it is a vital point between Sweden and Finland. Don’t forget that they are creating pressure at North, Murmansk region. Finns have enormous borderline with Russia.

-My God, they are doomed…

-Well, that is their choice, isn’t it? Like they have learned nothing from 1939. Or the other multiple wars there has been on that area. We have offered them membership, just like we have did for Sweden. I’m pretty sure Sweden is already rushing here with their delegates to beg membership.

-Yes, the plan ”Jolly Viking”.

-Jolly Viking?

-Plan B. I’m sure Norway is driving their tanks to Boden, Kalix and Gallivara in few hours. Also Danish Navy is rushing to Gotland. Or should be.

-You mean Nordics are going to war? Bloody hell, Sweden has practically no army at all…

-Yes, that’s why Jolly Viking. Sweden joins NATO in 24 hours. Finland can’t. Country in war can’t join. We can’t. It would mean war with Russia. Sweden instead can. Russia knows this bloody well. They are drawing the Cold War line again. And they are forcing Finland to surrender without war, or massive war. Look at the satellite pictures from Leningrad region, the whole 6th Army is on move. That’s not full yet, but they are rushing troops from all over, looks like Omsk VDV is also airborne at the moment…

-Gentleman, we have now managed to get President Ninnistoe on the line!

-That’s a relief! Hello mr President, this is NATO Headquarters, I am Jens, you remember me?

-Hellou, hellou. I heard you have situation going there?

-Well, hello Souli to you too. Situation you can say, You know that Russia is attacking you right now? Aland?

-Well well… yes, I have reports here. I think it is not good. I strongly don’t like it.

-But this is war? You have declared a war haven’t you? They shot down one of your Hornets?

-Well well, yes and no. It is complicated.

-Complicated? Russian military is on the move towards your borders and now inside your borders at Aland?!

-It’s Åland by the way. And yes and no, like I said, well… it’s pretty early here and we have a great blast last night you know, few drinks and country independent day and I haven’t called Vladimir yet. We need discus with him.

-Need to discus? You know that we are monitoring here a Russian Invasion to Finland? Are you Mr president serious?

-Yes, of course serious, all the time, yes. But we have hear other client too. We want hear what he thinks. This can be exercise of something. Mistake. They have map wrong side upside down. They see mistake and invade Gotland instead. Possibility.

-Mr President of Finland, what is your wife’s name?

-Security tricks? Ah yes, of course, no, I am not under Russian gunpoint now. I am in my toilet. Do not want to wake up Jenny, she mad like hell if I speak phone in bedroom. Stupid poets, so sensitive.

-Great to hear. Great to hear. You are sure about this?

-Yes, yes, very sure. I call Vladimir now and call you back then. I have his number on my phone here. We can then see new light on this matter? Okay?

-Mr President, good to hear that you know the situation. But we have to ask you as NATO that are you going to mobilize your troops? Because you know that this affects not only Finland but whole Europe and NATO?

-Yes and no. Possibilities are on the table. Or we need discus. With Vladimir first. He told me to contact him first if this things happen. Accidentally can happen he said last time. And that can resolve with mon… many ways. Cheese is important for Leningrad. Me have to stop now. [click].

-What the fuck we just heard?

-That if Putin buys all the cheese Finland has, they can have Aland?

-That was not a secured line. He knew it. Russians are listening. And we are listening him. Finns are so naive in these matters. And that guy is a lawyer. You can never catch him saying anything relevant. And he has to go to Russian Embassy to make that call.

-He is going to avoid that war. He is not that kinda guy.

-But what about other Finns? Parliament? Government? He doesn’t alone decide that thing or does he? Is Finland like Belarus now?

-That is a fucking good question. General, you have simulated this, what is the predictions of Finnish vs Russia militarily in situation like this?

-Sir… not good. Finland can’t take back Aland. They have no forces for that. It would be a suicide mission against Baltic Fleet and Russian Air Force. Also Russia will push in from multiple points on the east border to tie up Finnish possible forces, if they managed to get up their reserves. That means if Finns manage to buy time for that. And that is possibly what President Ninnisto, sorry Niinistoe, is trying to do. Anyhow if, they manage to get up their troops, 6 Brigades, 12 Battalions and some other elements, it will be a… well, it will be a bloody mess. Finns have some excellent forces that have been in NATO training and some very capable Navy infantry units but those numbers are small. They have stamina and will, but they have not been in war for decades. Russia has been training war all the time. They have time and mass. Finland tries to play this game more politically than militarily.

-So they won’t go to war?

-They are in war, like it or not. They are using this self-deception, again. Bloody Stockholm syndrome…

-You mean Finlandization?

-Kinda same thing. Hoping that the drunk in house won’t beat him again.

-So we have lost Finland? I mean European Union has been attacked and one country is surrendering to Russia? And EU is going to accept that?

-We don’t know that yet. The Lisbon Treaty is tricky. Well, it isn’t tricky but Finns have made it tricky. They can blame themselves for that one. Baltics can’t give them help, military help cause they are NATO. But the Lisbon Treaty says that they can. But Lisbon Treaty doesn’t go over NATO. There is the line.

-The idea of Hybrid Warfare. The bloody idea of Hybrid Warfare has blurred these lines. There will be volunteers from Sweden, Baltic’s and so on. Russia needs to control it’s oil and gas flow at Baltic Sea, if you just look this…

-…you see that 40% of Russia’s oil and gas goes through here. Baltic Sea. This map is Finnish Navy officers one scenario of Russia’s military escalating situation at there. Russia controls now 85% of Finnish import-export business. Finland is surrounded. Almost. North Sweden is still open. Norway too but it is a whole new problem now.

-So what is Russia trying to gain here? Why they need Aland? Is it really that important?

-Was Crimea that important? I mean it is practically an Island, has big mental impact but economically a disaster for Russia. Will this make Putin look like more Emperor again? Aland Nash? It was a huge Russian Navy and military bastion for decades for Russia. There was a big war about Aland in 1854 to 1856. British and French Navy attacked there with massive Navy forces, this was part of the Crimean War, idea to cut of Russia’s Navy and sea supply lines. Finland was part of Russian Empire then. Some Russians think still that Finland is their old province. The mental victory could just be enough to Putin. And to kept crawling toward West, and at the same time giving the finger to NATO. And to keep Finland out of NATO…

-But what if Finns goes full bersek? They can do it, right? I mean Hybrid War, yes, it means everything is possible. What if they go and blow up the gas pipe that flows to Europe? What if they do suicide flights to Leningrad’s multiple nuclear reactors? What if they lay mines to the oil routes, prevent traffic to Russia’s Baltic Sea ports? They can also hit Murmansk, there is massive piles of nukes and Northern Fleet? They can cause massive damage if they want to.

-Russia will retaliate just like in Chechnya. That would be a massacre. They will also got a ”perfect” enemy that they can beat and their country will be more united. But if the manage to make Leningrad, okay St.Piter, a nuclear wasteland buy blowing up a reactor… It will be a massive loss. They have a reason to use nukes against Finland then also.

-Sir, new intel just popping up… Group called Alands Freedom has posted pictures of dead Russian soldiers they have ambushed, looks like burning BMD-3 and three dead VDV soldiers. That BMD has a RPG hole in it. Also machine-gun fire at the airport. Tracers in on one video, looks like heavy MG, the are shooting to the air, Finnish drones?

-There might be several drones over Aland right now, Swedish, ours, Russia’s…

-What’s on Americas news?

-FOX News is just breaking their news for this situation, they use that stuff you just saw. CNN is doing the same. They have also that Finnish F-18 downing but they say it is a NATO plane. They clearly don’t know it’s a Finnish one.

-What?! USA news says that NATO plane was shot down buy Russia? Guys, this must be used. Here’s a great chance!

-Chance to what? To get caught lying?

-No, let’s just be quiet and let them believe it was NATO plane. Putin will have some explaining to do. And hope that Finns understands this too!

-Goddamn guys, we are military. What is our job? To avoid war when it is on our doorsteps? Are we some fucking negotiators or do we represent force? Do we help the weak against bullies or do we just watch from close how savages do what they want? I say we go in Finland fast, drop airborne to the borders, fly regiments to Baltics, deploy nukes to Norway. Is there other way? Otherwise we look like bunch of fat lazy shitbags without moral and whining nerds…

-You say we surround Aland and Kaliningrad, drive in tanks and other stuff in Finland and show Putin that this stops now? We need Finns to accept this, or more, they need to ask it.

-Yes, exactly. They don’t need to join NATO. This is a ”Coalition of EU under Lisbon Treaty” deployment to secure EU’s borders and help one of their good member’s. Then we just froze the situation and let politicians negotiate the situation. Otherwise we will be forced to watch how Finland slowly gets vanished from the map and EU will loose all it’s credibility. That will be devastating. This can also unite Europe and West in a whole new level. And this is a good war. or deployment. I am sure that Russia won’t dare to kill NATO troops. We won the Cold War. Are we whimps or winners?

-Massive Peacekeeping Operation under UN?

-You said it. Not going to war, instead to prevent it. Then we hit more sanctions and let that Russian bubble pop. Then Finland can join NATO and Sweden is already there and the gray zone of Nordics is safe.

-Well, there is great dangers with these nuclear plants. And Finns are known for tough resistance. If they managed to cut the gas pipe, hit Sosnovyi Bor or other nuke plants, or blow one of their owns against advancing Russian troops… it will be a disaster to whole Northern Europe. I must say there is some idea in that plan. And media will be on our side. This is about…

-Gentlemen! President of Finland is calling!

-Hellou hellou Bryssels! It is Persident Finland here, Sauli.

-Hello Finland. You have called Vladimir?

-Yes and no, very much so, yes. He called me. We talk. Good talk.

-And?

-We are having a joint peace keeping drills.

-What?

-We are havings a joint peace keeping drills operation with Russia. It is exercise. We plant this some time ago. Forget tellings you. Sorry about that.

-You are having a military drill with Russia at demilitarized area?!

-No and yes, complicated sounds but can be easy to explainings. You see, Vladimir told me that they have secret informations about many things. Me for examples, I mean mean, meanings, yes that is the words, meanings that you have been planning to attacks Finlands and that Russia is willing to help in that matter. To keep our indepent. Freedom.

-What are you talking Mr president, are you drunk?

-No and yes, well just a little maybe, can still drive a car. Wait, no, can’t drive. Sit can in the car. Make that clear, I am not drunk drivings. Shit in toilet and smoking cigarret. Good American Malporo that is.

-You have clearly violated many things here Mr Niinistoe, can you explain why?

-Technically correct may beings. But very explainable also. But I have to wipe now, my wife needs to bathroom. Call you back soon. [click]

-What we just heard? Can some one please explain?

-Sir, if I may, I think he has seen the Norwegian TV drama about Russian invasion.

-What?

-It’s a story where Russia takes control of Norwegian Oil and Gas fields and force them to start production. They kidnap their prime-minister and then release him after EU and others say that they can’t stop producing Gas to Europe. It’s all fictional and has some very naive elements but the main idea is that the Norwegian prime-minister doesn’t want to go for war and tries to negotiate themselves out of it.

-TV? Are you serious?

-We have kept our eyes on leaders and find out some funny stuff about Finland. There is a high element of corruption at the top level, it is cleverly hidden under energy and stocks, ice-hockey and gambling. The Russian nuclear plant deal was our eye opener. We followed some money streams and found this hockey team Jokerit which is owned by Russian oligarchs, some guy called Harkinson and others who have murky stuff. Also inside all parties. You have to remember that only the Green Party in Finland opposed the new Russian nuclear plant. They are also in the other hand also anti-war, anti-NATO people so they didn’t need to be bribed…

-You are saying that Finland is playing both ways?

-Well sir, if that’s how you want to see it then… yes, I’m afraid so.

-But what about the people, the Finns? They will never accept that drill explanation!

-Accept or die. That will be the president Niinistoes message to them at the morning. He knows very well that they can’t mobilize, it only takes one strike to Helsinki to pull out chaos and there is enough GRU and other bat shits in that country that can paralyze it physically. One railroad bridge here and there, Internet is already down, their command structure has so much bureaucracy in it that it takes months to make decisions and so on. Russia learned from Winter War that surprise is the best way. Well, they learned it from Hitler actually. But the idea of giving enemy a warning before attacking is just plain stupid, remember Pearl Harbor? Now when world is little more complicated whit money flying all over the planet and finding the way to politics in a whole new way, we see this.

-There will be riots and possibly civil war for this.

-Finns have a saying that if something should be fail in politics, then it should be internal politics. Meaning that first thing is to be nice with neighbors. Actually meaning that don’t poke the Russian bear. One of the great idiocies of Finlandization or the Cold War era psychic ops that KGB did to them. Now they are reaping the fruits.

-Sir, we have breaking news from BBC, turning on the channel now…

”…just came in from Moscow that 3 Russian soldiers have died in Peace Keeping Drills with Finland at Ahland. Putin’s spokesman said that they are having a joint Peace Keeping Drill to secure the Gas and Oil and Finnish import-export sea traffic against global terrorism and other threats like Global warming. On the other hand we have reports of Russians invading Ahland but Moscow says these are just bad rumors spreading in social media. There was also a malfunction in Finnish Air Force F-18 that crashed to Baltic Sea this morning he said and that Sweden kindly rescued the pilot. The reason for the soldiers death is said to be human error and he says that there is no reason for panic. Finnish president Niinistö has said on twitter that he is deeply sorry for the deaths of Russia’s peacekeepers and that this is a necessary drill to keep Baltic Sea area safe and…”

-Oh my God.

-Yep. There goes Finland. Who would never believed.

-Plan C24.

-What?

-It is in the scenario 24 of the Hybrid War manual 102. We have drilled this once.

-Now I remember. Russia takes Finland, Sweden joins NATO and Russia starts to negotiate that they give Kaliningrad back to Germany. But the situation will be frozen for years.

-That’s perfect to Russia.

-Alright then. Order the troops, contact Sweden Ambassador. I need to make a call to President Clinton…

… to be continued…

Part 2

Finland, near Jyväskylä, 61.8151504, 24.9540281 0410 zulu

Paavo Mustonen was driving his Toyota Hi-Ace van to his friends small forest plant he has bought some years ago. ”Time to cut some trees” has his friend said on the text message, ”got some vodka also ;)” he had add to the message. Well, you got to help a friend even it’s a dark December day with slight hangover after the Independence holiday. Besides, Alexander ”Lexa” was a guy you didn’t say no… he was his GRU group leader. Major Alexander Tshetyakov.

Russians were stunned how easily they could bought land from vital and strategic areas in Finland years ago. That was not possible in Russia. Law prohibited it, besides who the hell wanted to buy Russian soil? This small plant was just few hundred meters wide piece next to noise railway and a high voltage electric lines. They got it cheap, few thousand euros and it was a perfect cover for their nasty operation they were ordered to do: blow up the railway so that the train will knock out also the electric poles. They also wired few mines to slow down the rescuers and repairing units. That railway was supposed to transport massive amount of Finnish Army equipment and supplies, also that electric line was feeding Finnish Air Force HQ’s and part of Jyväskylä, a big city in Middle Finland. And their GRU Group wasn’t the only one working, there was 15 groups on the run at that moment. And other groups that didn’t even know of each others, good old USSR era precautions and secrecy…

Swedish Armed Forces HQ’s 7th December 0500 zulu.

-Staffan, have you seen this report from Gotland’s listening post? Looks like three Russian subs are heading to south west 25km from Gotland. Also Kaliningrad aviation is very busy but they are avoiding our airspace and seem to protect more their fleet that is scattered all over Baltic Sea…

-They are flying over the gas pipe. Just like we said, that fucking pipe is a devils invention…

-Should we send more planes to monitor?

-No, let NATO do that. We have enough data from our radars, just keep them armed and hot to get airborne in 30 seconds. They haven’t attack us, yet.

-We have 6 planes ready, two are airborne. And the elint piper is over Gotland now. NATO has contacted us and says it will share us all their intel.

-Good. Put North also in alert and give Norway a permission to fly in our airspace. We will have a drill with them in two hours. Close the Finnish border and secure all gas stations.

-Finnish border sir?

-Yes, can’t let civilians jam our roads. We could be in war in few hours. Jävla Rysskies…

-But Finnish president said it is a peace keeping drill?

-That’s bullshit. He is lying. Don’t know why. He could be kidnapped or something. Finnish HQ’s are not commenting anything at the moment. Bad sign. We have no idea what’s going on there. But we have to prepare for the worse.

-Copy that sir. That Finnish pilot we saved is now at Karlskrona, should we interview him?

-Yes. Send someone there and ask what the hell is going on. And send our intel to NATO about those subs.

-Absolut Herr Amiral.

Helsinki Finland, 0255 zulu.

Finnish colonel Turto was in civilian clothing and step of from the metro at Sörkkä station. He waited that people left the platform and then walked back to the tunnels. He stopped for a moment behind a corner to see if anyone was following. Nobody was. He continued to a iron door and knocked three times. Someone asked a password, ”Kylmä Laukku” he said and the door opened. He was pointed with MP5 and a captain behind the pointing soldier said friendly ”Wassap colonel, cold morning?”. He smirked and said ”fuck you too”. Then the captain ordered the soldier to lay down his gun and they shake hands.

-Is the group ready?

-We are waiting 5 guys, they are on their way. First company is ready, second one is getting armed right now.

-Good, send the first one to entry point one. Total radio silence. Where’s the General? Need to have a coffee with him.

-This way sir.

They walked through series of doors and entered a bunker where was officers and soldiers in full combat gears. Big map was on the table and the smell of fresh coffee was mixed up with gun oil, the smell he loved in the mornings…

-General, never thought this would come or did we?

-Ah, Turto perkele! Nice to see you. Have some coffee, our instinct was right. Just like we feared. Shit is going to hit the fan and we are going to bloody make it blow back to Russkies face…

-Any information about the east border?

-They are massing 6th Army and Alakurtti is mobilized with more stuff coming through railways. Radio intel says also that VDV is in full alert, Omsk is moving, Naro-Fominsk is loading tanks on trains, also their Air Force is flying on our border low and their AWACS are airborne over Carelia. All crossing points to Russia are closed from their side, massive truck jam at Vaalimaa right now. And other similar stuff. It’s going right as we predicted.

-You heard what president said? Peace keeping drills?

-Yes, he has lost it. It is now our job to protect this country and people.

-Yes it is. Wouldn’t never believe he would say that kinda thing though, you heard the order he gave to our HQ’s? That no mobilizing?

-Yes, that was horrible. Not event a silent mobilization. That guy believes he has superman powers to negotiate with Putin. That stupid bitch went in to the friendship trap, just like our leaders before.

-So, have we contact and isolated our government already? I suppose they are at Arkadia now?

-They are in crises meeting, waiting president to arrive there in few minutes. Our first strike team is ready and the guards at parliament building are on our side. We have closed traffic around the area, Russian embassy is also under surveillance. Police doesn’t know anything yet, can’t trust them right now, but they will step on our side after we take command. Navy is watching the harbor and we have airport under control right after we give the order. We have radar silence, they managed to hit our network with some bloody clever cyber attack, now we are mobilizing our AA military stuff, will be soon fully operational.

-Any contacts with NATO yet?

-Not official ones.

-Sweden, Baltics, Norway?

-They are all gearing up. Sweden will let Norway and Danes in, I suppose they are NATO member in 24 hours. USA will fly with nuclear bombers over Atlantic Northern Sea and is heating up a Carrier group from Iceland towards Norway.

-Storm is gathering…

-Sir, just in, president is now at the government emergency room. All except foreign minister Soini. He has lung fever and can’t join. He is there via video-call though.

-Oh fuck, cut that video-call immediately. Russians are watching it! Send someone to his house and put him under arrest. Before the Russians do it! That lazy selfish man. Dumb ass..

-Sir, I ordered first company to entry point one. Shall we start?

-Everyone listen up, operation Savior: execute. Surround Russian embassy, close all civilian traffic to Helsinki, secure Helsinki airport and take over our parliament building and arrest our government and president. Gentleman, battle stations!

-Yes sir!

NATO HQ’s Brussels, 0645 zulu.

-Sir, just game in, Finnish Army HQ’s is sending full mobilization orders to all troops. Navy also. They are using radars again. They repeat that message in rows, note that they keep saying that this is not a drill.

-Holy shit, what about their commander in chief?

-We have lost contact on the Finnish government one hour ago. Reports from Helsinki that all traffic has stopped, except some military units. Russian embassy is surrounded, Helsinki Airport is closed. They are sending that mobilization news at their TV now non stop. Also a message via Baltics that there might be a ”coup” going on.

-Looks like Finns don’t like that ”peace keeping drill” with Russians idea…

-They are wise people. Never underestimate them. Their politicians may sometimes do stupid things but this shows willingness. Have we any other source for that coup?

”…Citizens of Finland, our government has just resigned and we have now Marshall laws. President Niinistö has given his command of Army Forces to General Stunnberg who will speak in few moments. Since our internet is under heavy cyber attack, listen to your radios and follow news about mobilization orders. We recommend to stay insides and avoid panic. This is not a war. We are not in war, this is just mobilization. Our leadership is having discussions with Russia and EU leaders are now in emergency meeting in Bryssles. More information soon. Stay tuned, we will cover this situation live here on all channels…”

-Wou. This is it. They kicked president out and the government. They are going to full war mode. That is bold.

-Sir, also report from Swedish intel, three Russian subs heading to Danish Straits.

-Oh fuck, they are trying to block our NATO fleet from getting in to Baltic Sea…

-Sir, we must send ASW’s and stop them with depth charges. Not necessarily destroy them, just scare them away. They know that we can do massive damage to their Fleet, we have six missiles to each ship, a surprise attack will destroy 70% of them in 30 minutes.

-Won’t we be in full war then?

-Yes. But they might want to avoid a war with NATO. This operation they are doing is aimed against Finland. Finland has very good shipyards, they make the best icebreakers in the world, they have good infra and Finland would resolve two of their goals: buffer zone and control of Baltic Sea. They believe that Finland and Sweden will join NATO sooner or later so this is also a operation against that.

-Yes, that has been hanging in the air for awhile now. And Putin is a Leningrad guy. He has property and a personal praying datcha at Valaam monastery. Also Dugin and other hard core nationalists like to hide there. Their paranoia about ”NATO expansion” is just nuts. But a serious narrative in their propaganda. Now we don’t know who is in real control of Finland, can we find that out, and please really fast…

-Sir, president Niinistö has just tweeted that he will resign!

-Okay, he was pushed over. But by who? Is this a military coup?

-Sir, video of Finnish Army troops storming their parliament building now on youtube!

-Lets see… hmmm… the guards are letting them in, no gunfire, are their storming or securing? Is there some parliament members hand cuffed?

-We have recognized her, she is prime ministers special advisor. She has tight contacts with Russia. Also Russian embassy is blocked. They are tightening up their security on high levels, looks like a coup but actually… isn’t?

-We have to wait the new governments announcements. But it is not relevant right now. Mobilization orders are real and Russia is closing their border and massing up over 130k strong forces to Finnish borders. And they have annexed Aland. And there are dead people on the media…

Helsinki Finland, 0410 zulu.

First Company moved fast and had their laser pointers on in the dark tunnels. They have done this multiple times, Helsinki has a huge network of tunnels under it and they know how to use them. They popped up behind the parliament building, second company arrived with AMV’s from the front. It took only two minutes to get to the governments meeting room and they secured the whole building in five. It was now a bastion. General Kaski arrived to the meeting room…

-Hello and perkele to you all, Mr President, ministers and others. By the law of Finnish War time protocol I strongly recommend that you all sit down and listen what I have to say. You are all fired.

-General, I am the commander of Finnish Army, president of Finland Sauli Niinistö. I order you to resign and stop this nonsense. This is a coup for Christ sake!

-No, Sauli, you are now a traitor. You have made a deal with Russia and let them annex our land. And refused to defend our citizens. And you, dear ministers, have done nothing to stop this nonsense.

-But vittu saatana, General Kaski, I am the defense minister and I have something to say also, you have no idea to handle this situation. We are actively trying to resolve…

-Actively resolve. Like what? Talking about minefields for years and playing the far-right idiotic games? Your incompetence had ruined our political and military command structure. You are just a armchair general… no armchair sergeant who had let piss occupy the thinking zone. Just like your boss, foreign minister Soini who is not allowed to touch Russia. That is reserved to our Sauli who is a whimp and a lawyer.

-I am prime minister. Do you really understand what you are doing here, General?

-This is not me. We. We the people of Finland. And we represent them now. Until we have the new government in power.

-But we have been democratically elected! We are representing Finns, you forget that?

-You don’t have the support of people anymore. You betrayed them. You let Russia took Åland. You have announced that we are having ”peace drills” with them…

-But that was the president who said…

-Shut the fuck up. I’m tired of your never ending political bullshit. Your incompetence is devastating to us. You have lost your moral compass. You are seeing things only trough money and profit. This ends now.

General reached his pocket and draw out a paper.

-Here is a list of Russian nuclear company Rosatoms money transfers. It looks like even president Niinistö has got secret funding through that Russian hockey team Jokerit, also you Ollie Rehn, have massive pile of that mafia money somewhere… looks like London bank to me. Here, have a look…

He gave that paper to go around, ministers went white on their faces, one of them start crying.

-You all have gave Russia an open invitation to Finland. You are selling this land by piece by piece. This is betrayal. We can publish this. We have it already copied and confirmed. It only takes one tweet to get it around the world. Now the question is, how do we proceed. Do we crush you public and have a new government trough elections? When Russia is attacking us, when we are in war against them? What do you think, millionaire and prime minister Sipilä?

-Umh… my name isn’t spelled right on this list. It could be some one else…

-Great, still thinking your own reputation when our nation is facing war. You bloody fools. This meeting makes me just more convinced that this is the only and right way to do it. Let’s go public, Captain, you have video running from this?

-All the time General, never stopped.

-Wait…wait… I didn’t know that this will go this far. When I talked with Putin he said many things, he said that he has bribed everyone. That he can crush down any government. So we played this just to expose him. We were going to reveal all this after the Football World Cup 2018. I swear! As a president I had to take the money. He said he would feel very upset if his money to help Finland wasn’t good. And he promised a very nice nuclear reactor to us!

-While you are trying to talk yourselves out of this, we have put our HQ in full order. We are starting full mobilization. We have also secured our main media channels, that’s going strictly under the law of War time preparations. Our internet is down cause Russia has managed to cut it, everyone is listening radios and watching TV right now. They believed that you, Sauli Niinistö, have the power to lead this shit alone. But as you can see, you have been so blind to all directions. Now, we can play this nice, like that you can be still our government but do as we say, or have new dramatic elections which is very complicated now because war. Or we sack you and form a war time government, with your help to keep citizens calm. And we keep this list of your corruption still under the table. I remind you that Russia has 120.000 soldiers at our border right now. I give you 5 minutes to discuss this. We will wait behind the door.

Finland, near Jyväskylä, 61.8151504, 24.9540281 0510 zulu

Pavel Tsornoye aka Paavo Mustonen, used his chainsaw to cut some trees that blocked the road behind them while Lexa was molding some plastic explosives to right shape to cut the railroad steel so that a train would crash to the right direction. That train would smash into the electric poles at over 100kmh and cause a massive pile of death and horror. And the mines around that area will force the rescue operation into halt. And one of the mines had small amount of strontium in it in a lead container. Dirty indeed. One other group was working near Lyly, a Finnish Army depot and had similar idea. The radiation will slow down everything, they knew everything about Finnish authorities working methods and protocols about these things. These guys loved their job. They were recruited from the Russian streets in 90’s, young master criminals who were mostly orphans or poor kids who had abusive drunk parents and so on. They were sent to Finland some years ago via Estonia as workers, lived a good life in West, enjoyed freedom and got Finnish citizenship after a while. There was 80.000 Russians in Finland and it was just so damn easy to hide there. Besides police never asked papers, countryside was practically empty and Finland had this ”gray economic” area were it was so easy to move money and avoid taxes. It was practically under governments protection: the right wing parties supported cheap labor as they do all over the world. And if you helped the right officials with little presents, no problemo. But now it has come the time when Russia activated these sleepers and agents. Lexa push the primer into the plastic explosives, tested the timer and sprayed some black paint over it. Pavel drove the car to the path of the train crash coming, it was also loaded with explosives. Then they walked to a near hidden car, had a long warming gulp of vodka and waited. Snow was slowly drifting in the air…

Part 3

Luga Russia, 300km from Helsinki, 0618 zulu.

General-Major Larimov was chain smoking and listening radio traffic at the command post. He had heard from report that Finland was mobilizing or at least trying. The smooth peace keeping drill has turned to hostile. Suka bljat, idiots have messed up again he thought but didn’t let that show on his face. His unit, 26th Missile Brigade, was deployed around the forests of Luga, shorter range units were closer to Estonian border, these heavy bastards, Iskanders with 700kg warheads, had 500km range and could hit south Finland deep enough with accuracy of 5 meters. He had 24 missiles already erected, ready to launch in 60 seconds. Re-loaders have 24 more and more was coming. And this was just one Missile Brigade ready to hit Finland, there was one north from Leningrad, one close to Murmansk and Kaliningrad was also hot. They were ready to hit Finland with over 140 Iskanders, enough to paralyze the country. Or they thought it would. But they had back up, Russian Air Force was ready to finish the job with massive strikes, over 200 planes were ready and hidden under camo nets, bunkers, road bases and forests. This was their plan B. The plan A, use of Finnish government and president had went sour. Something they should learned from Ukraine…

Moscow Russia, National Defense Control Center, 0630 zulu.

Massive hall was thriving. Huge screens were showing all kinda maps, flight paths, satellites and data that was so enormous that nobody actually could follow it. But it looked absolutely like someone really knew everything about the world. But it was just a bluff. It was more like chaos in the disguise of order. It make colonel Severnyiv feel sick. Especially the news about Baltic Sea. As a Navy officer he knew that if NATO wanted, their Baltic Fleet would be demolished in one hour. The briefing about Operation Aland had came as a surprise to most of them, although they knew something was coming. They were loosing Ukraine, people were rallying on the streets and starting to openly shout anti-Putin things, FSB was arresting people so much that prisons were full. Their media has been shouting that NATO has plans to attack Russia and that far-right is rising in West, ”Gay-Fascists” are threatening their Motherland. But everyone in the military knew this was nuts. But they had to play as the Kreml said. Generals were having heart attacks too much. They knew that Putin was wiping them out with FSB and it has caused paranoia and fear. But Colonel Severnyiv wasn’t that type of a guy. He loved the sea and being in command of a ship in the middle of cold waters. His shipmates have always liked him, he was tough but didn’t tolerate bullying or injustice. He had learned to adapt into Russian military murky side but at Sea he was his own master and loved the salty breeze. He was ordered to Moscow NDCC to learn HQ staff officer stuff, he was on a list to Admiral training and this was a part of that. But he doubt that general stuff since he had seen the Moscow fat ass Generals with 10 bedroom apartments, dinners with hookers and French cooks, the massive corruption and love of Putin’s ”brigade”. He was more an outdoor guy, simple live, simple solutions type.

He went to the dining area and took some tea with lemon. He saw from the big window that there was no traffic at all on Kremlevskaya. It could mean only one thing: Putin was arriving. He went closer to the window to see better, the pale December light was soft and gray, he could see over the Moskva river barely, fog was raising from the river. A security officer came next to him holding a radio. He was sweating like most of them did when Putin was near. They saw snipers taking positions on the lower roofs and a helicopter flew over the building and hover over the river. Column of cars, with sirens on appeared from right and drove to the front door. He couldn’t see there but he heard from the radio that ”Vova has landed”. Then suddenly a huge blast shake the building and the window shattered, the blast wave knocked him out…

NATO HQ Brussels, 0700 zulu.

-Everyone, look at the screen now, something big happened in Moscow!

”…a huge blast at the National Defense Center only one mile from Kreml at 10:55 local time. There are rumors that Mr. Putin was just arriving to the building when a explosion happened at the front of the building. Area is closed and no media is allowed there but we have some footage from a local blogger who was filming with his quad-copter, we see windows broken and burning vehicles, also lots of ambulances and fire trucks with sirens and lights on. Also military vehicles, BTR’s with OMON signs, that is the Internal military unit under MVD. Kreml has announced that this is an act of terror and has no comment of president Putin at the moment, they said that they need more information but they are worried about news from Finland that is having a military coup going on and that Finnish Army is mobilizing at the moment. The previous information of Joint Peace Drills with Finland at Aland is said to be correct but they are seeing a connection with this terror attack and the Finnish military coup the Putin’s spokesman says…”

-What channel is that? Russia Today?

-Yes, it was first on this one, they got Kreml in 5 minutes to give that announcement.

-Bloody hell, now every one goes with that. Oh shit, did someone really wipe out Putin?

-No body yet. But if he is dead, who will be the number one? Medvedev? Or will Shoigu announce Martial laws cause they are planting this Finland mobilization and possible coup theory to this?

-That is plausible. We have some intel that there is hard wing Generals in Russian military who have been not so happy with Putin and Medvedev. This is their chance to take power.

-Okay, now we have to go code red. But do it silent. Everything is possible now. Any news from Finland?

-Sir, President Niinistö will speak to the citizens of Finland in TV soon. He had tweeted that his resign announcement was somebody trolling his account. Looks like the coup theory is still blurry. But the mobilization is ongoing. They are collecting people from homes and working places, people are rushing to markets and gas stations, there is quite a chaos going on. Police says to avoid panic and that they have permission to use lethal force to stop robbers etc. Finnish air space is closed, also all civilian traffic is not allowed over Baltic Sea, that’s from our side. There is heavy Russian Air Force traffic there. And ours. Also satellite pictures shows Russian Missile Brigades being hot and ready, no launches yet. Radio traffic has increased 300%, also flash messages to all units also strategic nuclear forces are getting them, possibly related to the blast in Moscow. This is going fast, looks like this is planned… but is has chaotic elements now, a lot of them. Confusion in command structure, both, Finland and Russia.

-That’s normal in situation like this. Oh what the hell, this situation ain’t normal but the chaos is. This is not a chess game where you can see other players pieces and plan your play 5 moves ahead, this is a soup of overloaded information boiling over and we need to find the gas flame heating the pot…

-Looks like Russia is heating their story against Finland blaming that they are behind that blast in Moscow, they can use it as a very strong false flag…

-False flag… shit, of course. RT revealed it. The main story is to use it against Finland. If it is Chechen’s or some other group, they will deny it. If it is a conspiracy against Putin and he is dead, they will still use it against Finland. What if Putin was going to NDCC to announce that they won’t attack Finland and there is these hard core Generals who have decided to go on and take control of the whole Russia? Military coup?

-Another military coup?

-Complicated. Hybrid is complicated.

-Finns haven’t been in war for 70 years, maybe they are not acting as Hybrid warfare, maybe they are in real chaos, Russia instead is just acting like it?

-You have a point there General. Russia has trained and done this for decades. What’s Russia doing at our NATO borders? Anything new?

-Kaliningrad has its Iskanders out but no indication of Motor Rifle brigades on move, also their radars are scanning Baltic Sea, not Poland or Baltics. Belarus is also quiet, just some air patrolling. Pskov has something out, more like securing their heavy activity on Luga and Leningrad region.

-Okay. Let’s put some F-15’s out with HARM’s and Maverics, if the Russkies start lifting those Iskanders, we might have to destroy them. And find out is Putin alive or not.

Finland Helsinki, Yle Broadcasting center, 0735 zulu.

President Niinistö was pale and watching news about the Moscow blast. General Stunnberg, the head of Finnish Army was also pale but tried to look cool. General Kaski was there also with his side arm and security unit.

-What do we do now, General Kaski?

-We… go as we planned. You Mr President, go and read the announcement to the Finns that you are still legally the President of Finland but have given the command of Armed Forces to General Stunnberg. And that you were forced by Russians to say that peace drill shit and that Russia has sneakily attacked Aland. But you have to strongly deny all connections to that Moscow blast. We are not behind that. Russians are trying to blame us for it, it’s a perfect weapon for their information war against us, hell, who knows it is a deliberate false flag against us?

-But… you promised to not tell about the money connections and we work here together, is that right?

-Of course, we need to keep nation united, that’s why you also say that you won’t accept the governments resign, we just make few changes to restore trust and war time effectiveness. We change the defense minister, take opposition parties in. This needs to be every Finns government. Now we have only one mission, to save our country.

-But by the law…

-Fuck the law, every Finn understands that we have no time for elections, this is about life and death. The government doesn’t resign, they just rotate members. And if some people oppose this and want to revolt, we arrest them. This is war Mr President.

-Do you have a cigarette, I’ve lost mine…

-General Stunnberg, you need to speak also. You remember we drilled this some time ago, act like in that drill.

-You have drilled this? And not reporting me? The president?

-Well, Sauli, the thing is that after we find out what you have been doing in Moscow and that Rosatom nuclear plant deal, our alarms went on. We did some research and find out that not only you but your close circles like the Turku pro-Putin gang was suddenly making huge profits. Also years ago when you gave the Finnish citizenship to Russian oligarchs Rotenberg and Timchenko… well, you let in Russian mafia and now they are bribing all directions with their Finnish useful idiots. They have power inside our parliament through your Party, they have drawn us in the sanctions both ways and you didn’t see this. Or you did but kept listening Putin that it’s just temporarily and that things will get much better after Ukraine war is over. You bloody fool have tied yourself into a spiders net and dragged in the whole nation…

-But I can’t control money in free world! Business world is global and we must have our share, we can’t isolate ourselves…

-Oh my dear president, isolation is exactly what Russia did us during Cold War. You remember that we were in a military pact with USSR those days, but you still wanted to tie our economy back to Russia. And you never, ever had spoken about joining NATO. Why? Also why you were never invited to the White House? When was the last time Finnish President has visited there? Besides you have been in Moscow 2 or 3 times a year. We have been worried about that. A lot.

-I just have done what people expect me to do…

-Bullshit. You have lead us to war. That’s what you have done.

-Kaski, don’t be so harsh on him. He has to speak to the people in 15 minutes.

-He has to understand that we know. And that he can’t bluff anymore. The lawyer talks ends now.

-Maybe you should be there instead of me General Kaski. It seems like you are running this show and I’m a sidekick.

-My apologies General Stunnberg, but we kept you out of this for the last moment, we didn’t want any leaks. Not that we don’t trust you but to keep you clean…

-Okay, good enough. We have a war ahead. United we are strong.

-You heard that president? Now let’s go and save what we can…

Moscow Russia, National Defense Control Center, 0740 zulu.

Colonel Severnyiv woke up in a small room. His commanding officer Admiral Ponomarev was there with two other officers. They were whispering something over a small map and looked worried.

-Admiral Ponomarev, may I speak?

-Ah, look our favorite colonel has woken up! Good. You were knocked out in the blast…

-…yes, I remember, I was having tea and watching Putin arriving when suddenly boom…

-Da, there was a bomb. It killed our defense minister and Putin is in critical condition in Kreml hospital. 6 others died too. Military is going to take control of Kreml at any moment, Shoigu is announcing Martial Law and full mobilization. They are saying in the news that this was a Finnish terror attack done with help of Muslim radicals from Dagestan. They have arrested several people and some of them have confessed. After they beat them with iron pipes.

-Finnish terrorists? In Moscow? Military taking power?

-Shh… you know why we are here? Or do you know where you are? We are in a basement, nobody can listen us, this is protected room. We made this some time ago, too much our stuff was leaking to FSB and others.

-But… but why?

-Some Generals had enough of Putin killing our Generals and other people, they wanted to attack Ukraine in full force but that wasn’t Putin’s goal, he wanted to play it as a frozen conflict. And attack later when Europe is more weak. We as Navy see this more intelligent and know that we are too weak for full war against NATO. But these hard core Generals want to use nuclear weapons to show they mean business and surprise them. This operation Aland was meant to be handled politically and make Finland surrender without a major war. It was Putin’s idea. He had to look strong cause he is loosing in Ukraine.

-So the hard core decided to take Putin out and step in?

-That’s what we think. And also blame the Finns.

-Sukaa…

-Da, massive bljat. Dzerzhinky Division is patrolling Moscow and all other cities are full of MVD and OMON keeping control. FSB guys are being arrested, or those who are loyal to Putin. Most of them are flipping to military’s side. Medvedev is also under arrest but we think he wants to revenge Putin and will co-operate. Patriarch Kirill has spoken in TV and called this attack a religious fanatics hit to our Motherlands heart and couraged people to unite to a Holy War against evils. The ”old Finnish Fascists” he said. Looks like all is planned and things have turned to much worse.

-Our Baltic Fleet is not ready for full war.

-They don’t want to poke NATO. They are showing some nuclear threat to them if they will intervene at this Finland operation. They believe it is enough to keep them away. Besides Finnish president was playing by Putin’s playbook, maybe he was just fooled, but still. There was a hidden plan B by Finnish military and some others for this kinda situation. And now they are in full mobilization also. They didn’t believe it was going to happen. Now Shoigu has to go also to plan B, attack Finland.

-So what are we doing here in the basement?

-Well, we… the thing is that this is a coup. We don’t want to be part of that.

-But we have to follow orders. If we don’t, they will shoot us.

-True colonel, true. But we can play our own side game here. We know that people won’t like this at all and that they smell the dirtiness of this. We play with Shoigu and his new government but wait for the right moment.

-Play like what? Sabotage? Our own Navy?

-No. We make Shoigu loose to Finland. And then start new revolution. Democratic revolution. Maidan at Red Square.

-Suka bljaaat… how we do that? Would we be killing our own soldiers then?

-We can do it without any actual shots fired, come and see our plan…

…to be continued…

… – – – …

Part 4

Swedish Air Force Base, some where near Beklinge 0900 zulu.

28 pilots was sitting in a briefing room with full gears, helmets on their laps. Nobody was chewing gum. They had Sparta kinda faces and eyes like angry hawks. This was Squadron 103. It wasn’t on any papers or lists. But here it was, and their planes were getting fueled and armed with full loads of shit that blows big holes to ships and tanks. And everything.

-…situation over Baltic Sea is tense, there is massive radar activity from land and sea. Also Kaliningrad coastal defense radars are pinging. The naval group heading to Åland has Gauntlet’s that can hit up to 12km but Kaliningrad has S-400’s that, as you know can hit up to 400km. We are going to fly low. Very low. We use Gotland as radar cover and then our group 205 will make us a corridor with various counter measures. We will have help from our Polish friends and Danish Navy who will start a heavy radar drills on Russia’s frequencies. Also German intel ship Alster is heading to area and is feeding us with data. Polish Air Force is already over Baltic Sea and will use their MiG’s and Su’s to stir up their radar operators heads. Officially NATO isn’t helping us, they are just having drills. Peace Keeping Drills. Officially we are working under the Lisbon Treaty. And right after our attack our government goes public and announces that we have joint NATO. And denies that we attacked.

-Sir, what about Norway?

-Good point, Norway can’t help us under Lisbon Treaty nor as NATO country. But we are having a peace keeping drill with them also in North. There is already two tank battalions heading to Kalix and squadron of their F-16’s and 2 squadrons of F-18’s are on their way. Officially this is a normal drill we have planned year ago. And we have planned this. Only it has more troops than in the actual plan. Like 100 times more.

-Any news from Finland?

-Finland will fly its Hornets to our side soon. We are preparing ammo and other stuff for them. We are sure that Russia will hit their Air Bases quite soon. They are flying their mechanics and support personnel at the moment to our side. We will use road bases Håkan, Bertil, Ragnar och Ylva for them. Norway will bring them stuff also. The Finnish pilot we saved from Baltic Sea said that Russians have long range AA missiles and that he had three missiles on his tail, one radar and two heat seekers.

-So they will try to wipe Finns out when they fly here?

-They will certainly try. Finns will do some false attacks first and make them use few missiles and reveal their positions. Then they and we know what areas to chaff and use some new electronic warfare shit. There is one Russian fighter squadron at Aland, Su-30’s. We will drag them to near Gotland and have a surprise there waiting for them. But they need that S-400 there, fighters alone can’t hold an island. They have BUK’s naval system on two destroyers that can hit up to 40km. One of those destroyers is followed by our sub. It will launch torpedoes at it 15 minutes before our attack. We are showing that Russkie bear that it has poked its face into Vikings nest. And we are going to stink to the most painful areas: nose, eyes and ears. Never mind the claws, we avoid the force, we take it’s head…

Kreml, Moscow, media room 0935 zulu.

Shoigu was sitting like a stick. He felt like his hair was full of electronic ants and he had a hard on like he never felt before. Goddamn the war meth was good. And Goddamn I am the God, he felt. No wonder the Finns were so good at the WW2 he thought, and we gave our soldiers vodka with morphine. Never again, he thought and looked at the reporters, journalists and TV-groups in front of him. He smirked and felt this funny feeling that he could kill all of them with one command. It is great, no, it is awesome to be Putin…

-In the name of Russian Federation, government and Armed Forces, Russia is now officially in full war. This morning at 10:55 our president Putin was attacked with a bomb at the National Defense Command Center. He is now in a serious condition and in coma. Doctors are doing all they can to save his life. By the orders of our constitution and laws, the government of Russia has appointed me, Sergey Shoigu, defense ministry and General of the Armed Forces as the commanding President of Russian Federation.

He looked the audience that was stunned and horrified, over his classes and felt like a rock-star. He was holding now keys to over 7000 nuclear warheads. Blitzkrieg pop. Motherfuckers, you will get a show that ends the history of the world, he smiled inside.

-We have arrested 5 people, three of them are Finnish citizens near the bomb attack. Two of them have confessed planting a bomb to assassinate our president Putin. Finland has used our friendship and kindness as a cover to launch this cowardly attack. You can see now on the screens pictures and names of these Finnish citizens, Yuhan Backman, Jon Hellevig and Anus Putkonen. They have been working closely with Russian media institutions and this Backman was infiltrated deeply in our political system. We believe they have also worked for NATO and one of them have assumable been working for CIA and exposed some of our nuclear secrets. We believe they have used Rosatom nuclear plant deal as a tool to get into secret files by bribing and corrupting our system. The other two arrested are Russian citizens who have been working for these Finns and they are from Dagestan area. They had fanatic Muslim literature and maps of strategic areas around Moscow in their apartments when we arrested them. This is a conspiracy. Also Finland is now mobilizing its Army and had cowardly killed three Russian soldiers at Peace Keeping Drills at Aland. This drill was planted long ago with Finnish President Niinisto in friendship and fully co-operation as against terrorism and to secure the Baltic Sea situation. Now our friends have stabbed us in the back. We have also reports of Finnish soldiers crossing our border in Carelia carrying fascist signs. They have opened fire against our border troops and one Russian citizen, woman age 24 has been raped and beaten to death in Helsinki yesterday. We won’t tolerate this. We protect our citizens all over the world.

-Nationalism is rising all over Europe. Finland was Hitler’s ally in WW2. Hitlerism has never vanished from Finland. Or Europe. And Finland is having a military coup right now. We believe that they have a fascist conspiracy inside their Army and politicians. They have let the nationalistic party Basic Finns in the government, one of them is defense minister and one is foreign minister. They have openly supported the Fascist street movement, who was behind the young Russian woman rape and death, the so called ”Soldiers of Odin” which has now spread to all Scandinavia, Norway. And we remember Breivik who is one of the worst terrorists in whole history who is one of these also.

-How do you comment that Aland peace drill, that it is actually Russia annexing Aland? President of Finland has just said that there is no peace drills and that you sneakily attacked there on night right after Finland’s Independence day?

-This is part of their information war against us. They are simply lying. There is no proof of what he is saying.

-Proof? But your troops are there? Isn’t that a proof?

-Yes they are there because they are in Peace Keeping Mission. They haven’t kill anyone, they are there just to secure that Peace will stay on that area and that Finns won’t secretly annex a demilitarize area. This was discussed at United Nations few months ago, we have this suspicious feeling that something like this Finnish Military Fascist coup will happen.

-So now you are saying that this is not a joint peace keeping drill with Finns?

-Not anymore after they attacked our president and Moscow. And shot 3 of our soldiers. We have send a note to Finland and cancelled this joint drill. It is now our drill. And we will gladly let OSCE and United Nations to observe our peace drill. But this is minority at the moment, 30 minutes ago I have ordered full military mobilization.

-Full mobilization? Against NATO?

-This is going strictly under our constitution and laws, this is our answer to brutal attack. We are securing our borders and going to protect our citizens. We are not attacking NATO or anyone. We are protecting. We are demanding that Finland will stop its militarization and war preparations against us, that they pull out their troops from Carelia and that they stop their plans to join NATO. We have a agreement with Finland that they will not help or join NATO and USA but now they have had drills with USA Air Force and other NATO elements against our deal. This is going to stop now.

-So you are going to war?

-If it is necessary to protect our citizens, yes.

Finnish Army HQ, secret command bunker, near Helsinki 1005 zulu.

-Holy fuck what amount of horse shit that Shaitan vomit over us!

-Perkele, that was a multi heavy barrage that. Well, it was expected.

-General Kaski, we have message through secret line 7. It’s from Sweden.

-Bible. Now get me the positions and call general meeting in 30 minutes.

-Yes sir!

Kaski went to the map board where colonel Turto was drawing positions and arrows, three radios were on and two screens showing data non stop. Coffee machine was spitting hot water over black grounded coffee.

-Colonel, how’s the land forces mobilization going?

-Not good. We have to pick up men by hand. We can’t read lists on radio or TV, besides emails or other internet stuff doesn’t work. It isn’t secure either. We have to post orders but as you know, it is way too slow.

-What do we have at the moment?

-Mobilization has been going on just 3 hours, we have nothing from there. Few officers are lifting up storages to give clothing and weapons, all garrisons are in code red, conscripts are supposedly arranging the close defense, truck companies are just heating up, fuel storages are half empty and roads are getting jammed. Also reports from the military police units that are picking up the A group that half of them are not coming, they have wife and kids crying, they need to go to bank and give money to their families, some of them are still too toxicated from yesterday, some of them simply says fuck off. One started to shoot with his hunting weapons from his window and yelled ”You can keep your jack”. We just leave these men, can’t force them.

-But half is coming?

-Well, yes and no. Some of them come right away, some of them come right after they had take care of things. We have now taxis with one officer or sergeant in them picking up these guys also, 30 pick up groups here in Helsinki, we have managed to get 90 men now. 80 has said to come right after they can. We try to call them but the internet blackout is fucking up that also. Also heavy traffic jams, people are rushing to shops, drug stores, gas stations… you name it. By this speed, we can possibly have 300 or 500 by the late evening.

-Battalion. One fucking battalion.

-Yes. And in 24 hours, by this speed we might have another battalion here in Helsinki. We have now volunteer recruit points were people can come and give their names and we check if they have a position in one of our units. Some of them have the letter we send 2 years ago but their positions have changed so we have to check them manually. There is a growing number of people coming to these points but also some rioters.

-Didn’t we give a precise order to this rapid respond reserve formation, this 24 hour readiness group? Address were they should go, number they should call? Why we are handpicking them?

-The government decided that it has to be ready in 24 hours counting from the time they have the letter or information in their hand. Well, they have the first letter that says they are in that group but it was just an announcement. We can’t tell 24k people about that secret, it would be…

-…yes, it won’t work. So basically this plan is fucked up. Have they send that letter, the real mobilization one with collecting point?

-They are printing it now. It will be on post by afternoon.

-So it will be on their hands tomorrow or day after that, fuck it’s the weekend… so on Monday and from that we have to count 24 hours so this group will be, in theory, ready in 5 days. Some marvelous planning from our defense ministry, again.

-Sir, we have to read on radio places where our reserves have to go. And read lists. And on TV.

-And give Russians perfect targets to hit?

-What else can we do?

-We have to mobilize our conscripts.

-That’s 7000 or actually 2800 at the moment. They are having 2 days free because of Independence day. They should be back at garrisons tomorrow. We suspect that some of them won’t come back because of mobilization and this war.

-So we can have, in theory, one brigade or let’s say 3 or 4 separate battalions from conscripts with conscript leaders and our own personnel leading them and handling the harder stuff in 24 or 36 hours?

-In theory, yes. But they are no match to professional Russian Tank Brigades. It would be like sending them to suicide mission.

-There is now 6th Army at Kamenka, 3 full brigades, 750 tanks, separate special force battalions, 3 airborne regiments air borne, 3 missile brigades waiting orders to launch Iskanders, over 200 Su’s and MiG’s… and this is just the south part. At north there is 2 full Brigades, one tank brigade and all the support from Murmansk area air force units. Also attack helo’s, missiles, cruise missiles, electronic warfare brigade, our radio comms will be dead. And our cell network. Wondering why they let our radio and TV still work…

-Sir, they need a channel to follow our information. They wait that we hesitate and give something useful… just like I was advising… Shit. They seem to know our every move…

-Yes. And our moves are public stuff. Just google it. Besides we train 20k conscripts a year, they fill youtube with army videos and update stuff in facebook. And when they are drunk they can’t keep their mouths shut. Russia instead smudges things and the fucking maskirovka. Sometimes it is not that and they have layers of systems. In Ukraine they this proxy shit, but now they are coming in classic mass formations with a surprise. We can’t beat those land formations, they will drive straight to Helsinki and the North group will take Lapland and drive straight to Swedish border.

-Why we didn’t see this coming, General Kaski?

-Why? Goddamn, we report this kinda possibility many times to our politicians, President was in these meetings but he kept saying that he will handle this, he will go to Moscow and negotiate bla bla. Instead he came with a nuclear deal plant, gave Russians a perfect weapon to stir our economy and to build a nuclear bomb into our soil. He also appointed his kinda guys to top positions, the defense minister kicked out one of our most capable guy and replaced him with a whimp. It’s been like our defense experts have been walking in sleeping pills for the last 30 years…

-We need help.

-Yes. We will get some help. It won’t enough but we have some tricks we haven’t use yet. Where is president Niinistö? Get him here now! And give me coffee perkele! Oh there’s the coffee…

North Atlantic, Viking Through, USS Minnesota 1018 zulu.

-Sir, ELF message, priority one!

-Very well, lets see that.

Fast attack submarine Minnesota was 150 meters below the sea surface going silent listening traffic around it. It had followed Russian K-410 Smolensk Oscar class sub for few days from distance. It was one noisy bitch, it had a flaw in one of its blades that made a unmistakable fingerprint. And modern sonars were some spaceship tech that could hear polar bears sleeping. They actually recorded one under the ice near Svalbard last year. Well, it was snoring though.

-Okay. XO, put us on battle stations. Full ahead, turn to Smolensk’s course.

-Battle Stations! Full ahead, new course 290! Sir… what is this?

-You wont believe this.

Captain Moorer gave to executive officer the ELF message.

-Lantcom to all fleet…code red…search and ping all Russian Navy ships and subs, report positions and keep them on cross hairs. This is not a drill. This is not a drill. This is not a drill?!

-Not a drill. Looks like whole NATO Atlantic units have the same order.

-This is related to Baltic Sea situation?

-Seems like it. President Clinton is showing she has some balls. I kinda like that. Jesus, I’m having goose bumps, do you feel the same?

-But sir… this… we can cause a war here!

-Nah, Russia has rusty corvettes on steroids that can’t go full speed, we know all of their locations and their ship crews by names, we are going to show them that if you move, we blow you to Valhalla.

-But their nuclear missile subs…

-Both of them are followed around the clock, if they open a hatch, it’s 30 seconds to Mars. Clinton has good advisors. They know we can kick Russia’s ass to the moon and don’t hesitate to show it. Bold. And sexy.

-Yes sir.

-Now get me a cup of tea. We have 25 minutes before we are on Smolensk’s bow. We might even have a chance to open our torpedo hatches this time.

NATO HQ, Brussels 1030 zulu.

-People, you need to see this, White House is having an announcement… on the screen now, live from Washington.

President Clinton of United States of America walked to the microphones in deep blue dress, had a tough look on her face and no jewelry or any shiny things. USA and NATO flag and a big screen was behind her.

-Good to see you all. As you might know already, there is a dangerous situation evolving now on Russia and Baltic Sea region. We have here satellite images of Russian military massing over one hundred thousand strong Army at the Finnish borders. They have landed over 6000 strong force with tanks and air force units to Aland that is a demilitarized zone by United Nations decision from year 1921. The have lied that it is a peace keeping drill with Finland. They have also shot down one F-18 Hornet over Baltic Sea. There was a also bomb explosion in Moscow this morning wounding seriously president Putin and killing some other people according to Russian media. While we are still trying to have confirmed reports of the status of of Mr Putin, the Russian media has already made claims that Finnish people are behind this attack. They have also ordered full mobilization by the acting president, Army General Shoigu. He says that he was appointed by the Russian government and is now the acting President of Russian Federation. We believe there might be some kinda Army coup going on, they have now lots of internal military and police units controlling Moscow and other major cities. NATO has reported heavy Russian military activity at Baltic Sea but says it is not directed against NATO members, yet. Because of the possibility that Russia might be in hands of non reasonable persons and that they have over 7000 nuclear warheads, I have ordered our Armed Forces to full alert. Our Navy with NATO friends are right now rushing to Atlantic to secure peace and find all Russian Navy vessels. You can see from the screen that we already know where they are. This is all happening in fully co-operation with European Union and NATO…

-Anyone seen that order here?

-Sir, it came 5 minutes ago, we are having information tsunami at the moment…

-Give it to me, now.

-…and I as the president of USA won’t let Russia to break the international rules and annex Aland. United Nations are in emergency meeting right now about this situation an will condemn Russia’s actions. We are going to also demand that Russia with draws all its troops from Crimea and East-Ukraine. This has to stop now. We want that Russia has to resign its position in UN Security Council. There is no room from terrorists there. Yes, what Russia does is state terrorism against it’s weaker neighbors and is trying to use those non-NATO status as excuse to use force to…

-Well who would expect that…

-She’s making America great again?

-Yeah and NATO too. Bloody time some one takes lead.

-You noticed that she didn’t said it was a Finnish Air Force Hornet?

-Let’s keep it that way. It is after all American plane. And she wasn’t lying…

-Sir, in the order our Baltic Sea naval units are not ordered to hunt the Russian vessels or subs.

-Yes I know. There’s another plan for that. Vikings have something to say first. Now I need coffee. It’s gona be busy next 24 hours…

to be continued…

The mother fucking saga continues… part 5 soon. Stay tuned! 😉

Part 5

Lithuania, Panemuné crossing point 1045 zulu.

Kristaps Nevarauske was driving his 18-wheeler and prepared to stop at the Lithuania-Russia border checkpoint at Panemuné, across Sovetsk. The Russian town was actually old Germanic town called Tilsit. Yes, the cheese. But since USSR annexed Kaliningrad in WW2 they changed the name Sovetsk. And it has been since rotting slowly like everything in Russia. People lived still in houses build at 1800th century because they were simply better than the communist era block of flats called ”Khrushchyovka’s”. They should be all demolished with napalm, Kristaps thought and had shivers remembering his childhood in one of those. You simply couldn’t repair those, it was cheaper to build a new one. But nobody cared in Russia. Everything was working at the ”minimum level”. Only threats that could kill you were repaired. And not even those, roads had pot holes deep enough to berry your car, there was people who had drowned in big cities, even Leningrad, in their cars. In the middle of a road. But in Soviet-Russia…

-Laba laba, well the same old same old, rat poison, fertilizers, agronomic stuff to poultry farm in Lipovka, Kalinovka and one other place.

-Okay. Need to see the cargo, new rules. Russia demands to check everything. They might check you even harder when you get over the border. Tense stuff today.

-No problem, let’s go and check.

Kristaps jumped from his truck and they went to the back and opened the seal. Border official climbed in and looked around, checked that it was same stuff that was on the papers, wrote his signature to the papers and then they sealed the doors.

-Okay, everything in order. It was below zero last night so roads are icy. Drive carefully!

-Thanks, I will. Sudie!

-Sudie!

The truck roared heavily under the full cargo and pulled itself to the road and towards the Neman river that was also the border line between NATO, Lithuania and Russia, Kaliningrad. He pressed a button that started to pump diesel from his full gas tanks to inside his cargo room, especially inside the nitrate-based fertilizer canisters. He tapped his phone and started a live periscope feed, put it on the wind shield. There was a traffic jam on the Luisenbrücke, an old beautiful German bridge that lead to Sovetsk. On the other end was Russian customs and he could see that there were border guards with weapons and sniffer dogs. They were inspecting everybody, dogs were sniffing cars from inside out, people were checked with metal detectors and hands. Guards were masked and pointed guns on cars. Looked like the mobilization and state of war was serious, he thought. Well motherfuckers, in a while it’s going to get much serious…

Swedish Army HQ’s, 1032 zulu.

-Förvaltare, show me that Gotland data of the three Russian subs again.

-Right away Admiral. Here it is, sound analyses, position and headings. I put the recording on speakers now.

Admiral Sabba closed his eyes and listened, he turned his head from side to side and closed the other ear and then the other and again.

-Jävla, I am not old, give me headphones…

He listened again, closed his eyes…

-There! Put it on speakers and turn up the volume! Can you here it?

-Umh, what sir?

-Two of those are decoys! I was 7 years a sonar officer in 80’s, listen again! They are too steady, no moire!

-Sir, you know better than me. But Gotland gave us this information…

-Call them and tell them to check it again. And check the magnetic sensors, I’m 99% sure that Russians are bluffing us to believe they have no subs near that Åland convoy. There is only 3 subs at Baltic Fleet, or 4. Besides they didn’t have any escort for those subs. Russkies don’t send three subs in Baltic sea water without surface ships. No way. One sub and two decoys.

-Calling now sir.

-And send this via secret channel to NATO. And Finland.

-Javvist Herr Admiral!

-5 hours. They bluffed us 5 hours. I need to call Beklinge…

6th Army operational HQ’s, Russia Vyborg 1106 zulu

Underground bunker complex was build during USSR era. It still had old paintings with attacking soldiers and Lenin with his hand pointing to west, Finland. Lot’s of wires and new piping, air ventilation were filling the walls. A big hall had three maps on it, one was the whole world. At the third map colonel was showing General-Major Sergey Kuralenko, the commander of 6th Army, and a sweaty prime-minister Medvedev, who was in a too big camo uniform, the current situation at Finnish border, Carelian part.

-138th brigades tank battalion is now at Torfyanovka and has visual to Finnish border. Their 2nd battalion is to left and 3rd is right behind them. 4th is securing the rear. Engineers made some forest fires with flamethrowers and old tires at north, the wind is NE, 3 m/s, perfect for us, sats and drones are blind. Artillery Battalion is ready, 36 Akatsiyas. Also Grad battalion is ready, 18 launchers. Also our corps artillery and MRLS’s is covering them, naturally. Their recon… we have not crossed the border yet… technically. Besides our GRU is feeding us stuff from Finnish side. The AA is more south, we believe if they try to use their Hornet’s, they will come low from the sea side. We do radar sweeps now and then with one unit, then move it again. Besides we have Pantsir’s and S-400 Battalion in the the Primorsk oil harbor area, corvettes 531 and 545 on the area and constant air cover on Gulf of Finland. The Tunguska battery is with the tank battalion. And if they attack first, then we haven’t start the war. Besides if needed, we are ready to shoot down some civilian plane to make them sure that airspace is ours. Of course we deny it.

-Good. The Finns are in chaos right now. People are panicking and the roads are jammed. There is only some platoons, army personnel with active reservists at the border zone. And some border guard elements. But no heavy weaponry, only some anti-tank fire and forget shit, but that’s mainly it. They can’t mine the roads, civilians are there. And we have the engineers mine clearing tanks with the tank regiment, right?

-Yes General, as planned.

Medvedev was quiet and his face looked like he have had a major tooth surgery just few hours ago. With out painkillers.

-Just why they don’t let civilians stay there and get some hits? It would make us look bad in the media. On the other hand we don’t need arty barrages to level shit down, maybe just some smoke screens and illumination. It’s dark soon, the nights are long. Finally the ground is getting frozen. Makes it easy to use fields and forests. This time the forest is our best friend…

-Yes, General. Up here at Vainikala railway crossing point we have 4th regiment of Pskov VDV 76th Division in a Finnish passenger train waiting. When we closed the border we stopped this at Vyborg and took the passengers out and loaded it with them. Their war machines and the rest are on a train just behind them. Also 1st tank regiment from Naro-Fominsk, Kantemirovskaya Tank Division is on this track waiting to get over. 1st regiment from 25th MRB is securing the area and will push in and take control of the area after Pskov guys pull in and continue deeper. Kantemirovskaya will turn to Lappenranta and their 2nd and 3rd regiments are just arriving to Leningrad area, will be on that track in few hours, they can attack from the move.

-Ah, the good old Operation Barbarossa. That was a blast. Best lesson we could ever get from warfare…

Medvedev was going to say something, his mouth tried to open letting this weird chewbacca sound to the air…

-Yes, Dima, it hurts. War is full of pain. Medic! Bring your leader one aspirin! …where were we? What about the ”Operation Clubman”?

-Clubman, yes, that is important. The channel that flows from Finland’s biggest water reserves to our side crosses our border at Nuiyamaa. If they blow the gates at Lappenranta, they will flood massive area on our side and could cause massive shit. We have 4 GRU and FSB teams inside Finland on that area working on it. All is ready for Koroljev’s Spetsnaz ”Pjat” to go in and take control of the vital points. They go in with helo’s, low and fast, secure the spots and fast attack special regiment will cross Nuiyamaa with our new equipment. That regiment is trained to only this, General. It is a plan that has been on our playbooks since 1960’s. It’s only 20km from border to Lappenranta, we can reach there with 8 batteries at the moment. We have a plan B that requires a lot of firepower.

-Never wondered why the bridges are so high at Vyborg…

-Yes, this is the reason. The other big water flow is at Svetogorsk but it flows to lake Ladoga and won’t affect to south. But we are going to take that stream under control too with a similar operation, the Koroljev’s ”Vosim” is doing that.

-Colonel, why you are still just a colonel? You seem to be very informed about things?

-Well, sir, actually this is just my military rank.

-Oh. Forget that I asked. Carry on.

-9th motor rifle brigade is pulling through that Nuiyamaa crossing point and will turn to north, Imatra, their BTR’s are better on those good roads than tracked vehicles, speed is the essence here. We are going to block a lot of roads, order civilians to stay at home at that region. We take control of the radio a TV towers, block Finnish signals and send our Finnish stuff. We have some Finn politicians like Pavel Vaurunen who will give us statements and Ville Haabsalo has done some good spots about this operation which is going to be presented as ”temporary Peace securing operation” against Finnish military coup. Also our media is following closely this operation and we show people Russian media with Finnish text. And some parts of Finnish own media, the parts that suits us. The idea is not let them escape, we give them free food, vodka and some of the regional governing personnel is already bribed or honey potted to our side. We will come as friends, well… we are Finn’s friends after all. They just don’t understand it yet.

-You guys think all in advance, some excellent planning colonel.

-Shut up General. Were was I… ah, yes. Our first task is the river Kymijoki. We will surround the cities Hamina and Kotka, not go in there first. There’s some though garrisons there that could cause too much casualties for the Finns. Don’t want that spread on media. We will negotiate them to surrender, cut roads and other stuff from there. It’s winter after all, they will let us in after they see from media that Lappenranta and Imatra and other places are joying free vodka and food. And that this is only temporary. We are going to gather up all refugees and others, false flag some terrorist stuff and move them to Siberia. We blame them as we have all the time. But if those garrisons want to fight, well, our MLRS’s are ready scare those. They are conscripts after all. We just need to soften them a little bit. We do same at Lahti and Koulova.

-Medic here, major-General! You called?

-Oh yes, give our dear prime minister a morphine shot. Looks like has felled on the steps and broken his jaw. And bring him a wheel chair. Poor fellow. Where were colonel?

-This is the south Carelian part in basics, the land force part. On the other map I’ll show you the air force and Baltic Sea plans, also other stuff. Further north Carelia we have 6th tank brigade ready to cross border near Parikala, they will turn to Punkharju. At Sortavala we have the newly formed separate tank regiment from Putin’s Nashi caders and loyalists with some special elements, Omsk VDV will drop a regiment to Joensuu and they take the airport, then we send in some more stuff, prepare defense to west, exploit to north, take Koli, Nyrmes and Juukha. The had a brigade there few years ago at Kontyoranta, we use that area to establish a basement. The Lapland operation is still open, it depends on some variables, we might go straight to Sweden border, or just cut it from south Finland, the Putin’s Bomb, nuclear factory construction site at Hanhykivi will be secured by another VDV parachute operation, it could be enough there. Depends. We improvise on the move. But basically same as the south. Peace securing operation. We are moving troops from east all the time to take the places of the troops send to west. No need to think about rotation now when we are in state of war. Also we are calling reservists fast and we are forming 6 Divisions in 4 days, they have been given the silent order month ago. Equipment is ready at Petrozavodsk, Lakhdenpohja and other storages.

-Oh look, Dima has fallen asleep… aww…

Finland, near Jyväskylä, 500m SE from railroad bomb 1121 zulu

Pavel was pissing outside the car and farting loud. Beer was good in Finland and he liked it a lot. With vodka. A dog was barking some where, a typical Finnish countryside sound: old chained spitzer just announcing his friends that wassap. And that maybe a squirrel was somewhere near. Or enemy. Lexa was smoking inside the car and listening his satellite receiver that was tuned up to 6263kHz. They have waited for 7 hours to get a go ahead to activate the railroad mayhem they’ve prepared. He was getting nervous.

-Lexa, relax, have a drink.

-The radio said that all passenger traffic has been cancelled because they have problems. Well, in reality they need the tracks for military. But why there’s been not a single train yet?

-Nah, Finns are confused, it takes time to load tanks and shit. Relax, it will come.

Lexa took the bottle and give it a good hit.

-Ah shit. I remember when I was conscript, we drank some washing alcohol. I was at air base that had bombers. They had tons of pure ethanol, we need it to clean Backfires butt. 4 guys died when they simply dropped from those heights, alcohol poisoning killed them before they hit the ground. Oh those days…

-I was in a shitty regiment at far east, Sakhalin. Coastal missile stuff. It was a fucking Gulag. We had three missiles, two were just old scrap, one was supposed to work. 3 guys tried to escape one day with a boat. They drowned, one frigate just ran over them.

-Things were luxury at west bases those days.

-Yeah, and you get there only if you were a party member, or your parents were.

-And your parents were…

-Umh… well my uncle was a major in missile troops. And a party member. He wrote me recommendations.

-Bljat, I wasn’t that lucky. I never knew my father. They said he died in prison. My mother was just a factory worker. No chance for that.

-Yes, the system was harsh. But what could you do. You just go with flow…

-Flow… for others a stream of misery and pain and others were having a party on a luxury ship sailing on it…

-But it’s history Pavel. Now we are making new Russia. Better Russia! And you are now in the ship…

-Da, yes I am. Let’s have a drink for that!

It was already dark. Small snow flakes were drifting in the air. Finnish radio was reading news to people that they should keep calm and avoid panic. The president of Finland was speaking…

-Dear citizens and others. Situation is little bit not normal right now. There is some kinda mistake happen in Russia and that has caused some over reaction from Moscow right now. The reports of Russia attacking Finland are not quite true, they are now in Åland, yes that part is true. But they say it is a peace drill. We are checking that now. Also president of USA, ms Clinton has condemned the actions of Russia and so has European Union and United Nations. We strongly condemn the attack at Moscow and hope that Putin will recover soon. In situation like this it is normal that they increase their military readiness. But our intelligence says it is not aimed against us…

-Bljaat, that guy is a pussy… fucking pederast…

-…but we have increased our military readiness just to make sure that… well, this is a readiness exercise to test our systems. No need for panic. Things will be normal quite soon, quite soon. Now what comes to the acting Russian president Shoigus claims that Finns are behind the Moscow bombing, we can only say that it is not true. The Finns they have arrested in Moscow are yes, our citizens but they have been working in Russia for years and for Russian government. They have actively done information campaigns against us and our police is investigating them, also. We will give all help for Russia to resolve this mystery. I have given the Army command to General Stunnberg, this is normal and goes by our laws. We have made some changes in our government, this is also part of this readiness exercise, our new defense minister is Carl Hägglund, we called him back, he was acting defense minister in our previous government. Our new foreign minister will be appointed soon, Timo Soini is at the moment not capable of work, he has serious fever and is at hospital care now. I assure you that we are not having any kinda coup going on. Our parliament has accepted all these changes and…

-They still don’t understand what they are facing…

-Or they do but try to play time. What they don’t have. Slow Finns…

-Don’t forget that the fastest Formula one drivers come from Finland. Raikkonen.

-And hockey, suka bljaat, I never forgive the Sochi embarrassment.

-They should have their hockey coaches leading that country…

-Ha ha… that’s good one Pavel, let’s drink for that!

Suddenly the sat receiver started to announce numbers. Numbers in four groups. Pavel turned the car radio down and Lexa started to write down the numbers… tsitire vosim adin nol…pjat dva nol tri… tri sem sem vosim…

At Luga 26th missile brigade commander General-Major Larimov was writing down the same numbers…

…to be continue… stay tuned. 😉

Part 6

-Davai, listen up, everyone! We have now new orders, open the Finnish internet, make traffic analysis, spot category A, B and D cellphones, make movement lines. Get Olgino ready for disinformation attack, we are going side by side with RT and other media. Target especially Facebook. Stream all live feeds with military and emergency action to department Voina. Open Finnish radars and follow. Start fuzzing GPS over Baltic Sea, oh this is air forces job, why did it come to us? Never mind, next item: cut their media broadcasting center in Helsinki and let Tampere take over, we cut that later. Prepare for the operation ”Electromg”. Oh, and make a fake alarm at Lovisa nuclear reactor plant. Make it big. Team officers to my desk for full orders. Now!

People were electrizited. They have been preparing for this 2 two years and now they have a go. Well, they have a go already 2 years ago but this was the ramming point. It takes time to plant shit in peoples heads and turn media. Especially Finnish ones. Stubborn but easy that nation was. Like a child who has burned himself with boiling water as a child, they avoid all hot and boiling. And Russia was that hot water. Boiler with over pressure.

-Markov, bring us Red Bull and get Olgino on the line. Davai! …okay, team officers, keep eye on your folks, no hesitation. Remember that the monitoring group is just above us. We’ve done good in rehearsals, this is some bad ass shit we’re pulling now. And we love it, da?

NDCC’s youngest General was 36 years old life time gamer Natalya Topor. Like most of the Moscow millionaires children she has been also in Western school after some university studies in Moscow. She was in London, Rothamn’s Media Academy for two years and recruited there to SORM, the FSB’s internet and cyber department. It was easy, she wasn’t actually very good there, language problems and her personality made her isolated and she was lonely. FSB find her when they start some troll operations in Britain and she popped up on streams and seem to follow their idea like a natural talent. And she had started to feel homesick. They send her a invitation to Moscow Information and Media Institution and offered her a good payed job and that was it. In 10 years she has become the commanding officer at Cyber Department, rank General. She had tattooed the star on her shoulder, they allowed kinda freedom on this department. It was full cyber punks, trolls, hackers, skaters… you just named it. Few of them had classic military training, most of them were recruited straight from universities and internet. Some of them were picked all over the world, there was lot’s of talented unemployed hipsters who liked controversality and Moscow was tempting. They spoke 22 languages at that department. It was a horrifying place for old school generals who loved gun grease and battalions in tight formations. They just couldn’t understand modern days chaotic internet and android phones. But Topor had spent his life in internet. She had a mathematicians head in a slightly autistic mind. And she loved to be at the top. She will show those arrogant Londoners that who’s who… well, Finland first.

-Okay, the Electromg. Smog. We start first at far east. Pull up the fake Army 26th and make it look like it is moving. Use the fake accounts but do it smooth. It doesn’t have to be massive, West is monitoring us now like hell and all signals will be multiplied like hell. Also pop up heavy traffic on Vladivostok, we need to make it look like Pacific Fleet is going out, like silent alarm. Army, Navy and Air Force have their orders too, they pull up some decoys and stuff, radio traffic, radars and such. We concentrate on social media, we leak some fake videos, picts etc and use our western friends who will boost those. It’s 1900 local time there now. Remember that.

-What about Magadan? We leave that?

-Yes, we keep that out. It may be needed in phase three. We are in full mobilization, the idea is that we cover that real mobilization. Electronic Smog. Now, the Siberian district, divide it so that half is going east and half south. Make some black outs on our social media that the real stuff won’t go out. But don’t cut it. We need information but we need to also control it. Something Western freedom doesn’t understand. Bloody freedom. It just makes you get lost. We just help them a little bit.

Team officers were laughing and zipping Red Bull, sugar and caffeine. Red Bull was allowed, they called that the ”Russkie Bull”, besides all Germanic stuff was popular in Russia: cars, Adidas, tools, brands… even swastikas and Hitler. They have this weird fetish of Germany, they got beaten by them first in Operation Barbarossa but then they smashed and raped it good. They found out that German weapons, tanks, fighters etc were just awesome tech comparing to theirs so they adapt that. And since Stalin was just like Hitler, suka bljaat, who cares…

-Now, we keep Caucasus, Dagestan and Chechnya in total black out. They are going to have a smash operation there tonight in 6 hours, 58th will move closer to Georgia, silently. Cut phones and internet. It will draw Western intels attention to there. Also bomb Turkey with DDos and similar, troll them good with aggressive messages. Give media the porn video of Erdogan and the fake money transfers from USA military industry. Also leak ISIS and Kurdistan stuff, make the Syria look like a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Just like we always do. Now when Ukraine is filled with NATO troops, we push there fake reports of them raping the locals and other shit. We keep Kursk, Taganorog silent, let them believe that we are moving there in silent mode. Army and Air Force will do some moves that will show on satellites, Ukraine department will handle that with co-operation with us. Major Stalker, that’s your job, do better this time. Capish?

-Da, General Topor. Won’t let you down.

-We are not going in there, Ukraine has now prepared and trained Army in trenches and Crimea is still on our hands. We keep it frozen. But just cause some hype and false information. What comes to NATO, we blame them for everything. Just like before. But we won’t make moves against them. Need to keep NATO out of Finland and Sweden. Shit, I forget the Sweden orders, is that dirty smelling nerd here, Swed’s team leader? Can’t smell him…

-I’m here, I took a shower this morning. Big day, I took a haircut too.

-Excellent example of camouflage people. Take a note. Okay Team Sweden, your job is start dividing Sweden and Finland. Just heat up some old hockey memories, make Swed’s feel better than them and remember to tell how rich they are comparing to Finns, also in culture. And that they will let Finland alone, leak false documents and so on. Some WW2 stuff also. And inside Sweden start a harassing their internet, cut it in south for few hours. Black out their military internet sites. Boost some old crimes Finns did in Sweden, use the Soldiers of Odin’s stuff and cause panic. Rumors of attack coming to Gotland and south Sweden. And that new fake information that CIA killed Olof Palme, reports of crucial flaws in Swedish Jas fighters, Oh, and refugees. Blame them for everything.

-Around Moscow fuzz everything. But do it in slow steps. Keep information about MVD on the streets low. Make fake counts full of reservists swearing to revenge the Moscow attack, start ”Motherland Fury!” campaign, like #RussiaRevenge #DestroyFinland plans. Fill them with trolls and fake accounts, the people will follow after it trends. We show those in news also and radio talks about it. Let people make selfies with weapons and camo clothes. Sensor the mil information, what unit where etc. Make it big. It will spread to whole country. And our western friends will join.

-Natalya, what about Finland? They arrested Johan Bäckman and Janus Putkonen and one other Finn for attacking Putin. They were supposed to be used in our media ops…

-Change in plans. Finns wouldn’t believe those guys. They both were hated in Finland and they fucked up kind a bad. Let’s say that they were complete amateurs and have no charisma. Arrogant and no competence. We let them believe that they were doing good but this was plan B. It works better this way. Now Finns believe that they were real double traitors and tried to start a war with Russia and Finland. Finns are kinda happy what they did, or we make them look that they did, and also happy that they are arrested. We use this to gain trust from Finns.

-Oh that’s awesome! Very good thinking. So, we have some changes now in Finn orders?

-Yes, we open the internet, feed in some stuff but first monitor their attitude and feelings. Let’s see what’s the vibes there. Then slowly start feeding the disinfo about secret NATO take over, keep up that coup theory, leak some corruption files of their government, we have that a lot. It will show us also corrupted but that’s nothing, our people know it and accept it. It’s the normalnaya. They think that Finns are stupid when they get caught, and Finns will turn against their leaders. The main goal is cause chaos and divide. In this first phase. They won’t dare to blame us, what they do is blame the EU, their own politicians and West causing tensions. Our KGB psyops in Cold War have done some marvelous job there. We use that. I will come and lead the Finnish team with you. And for Olgino, are you on the line?

-Da we are here.

-Olgino, after the false alarm at Lovisa nuclear plant, start spreading rumors of an atom bomb. Then change it to core meltdown. Now, in Baltics…

Prime minister was shaking. He spilled coffee over his papers and cursed heavily. Others were yelling over each others and looked like bunch of teenagers.

-Shut the Perkele fuck up! Now!

Prime minister stand up and through that coffee cup on the wall. With force.

-Shut the fuck fuck fuck up! You bunch of lazy bastards, sons of bitches and Jesus fucking Christ Saatana! Help us now!

Ministers went white on their faces. They slowly sit down and stared their prime minister like a complete stranger. He hadn’t never cursed before. Never. Ever.

-Dear Lord, look down and see this. I beg you, give us wisdom…

They were silent for a good while and then somebody knocked the door, a voice behind it said that the president is arriving in few minutes.

-Okay. Noticed. Now my dear government, prepare something to our president. We need cold blood now. Check your reports and make him three point answers. We need to be solid. Have you Carl get the picture from defense ministry?

-Well, yes, Åland is occupied by Russian military and it is on our east border, on its full length 1340km. Main concentrations are on south, Carelia and north. Mobilization is going bad. NATO is giving us some intel, can’t say anything accurate because it’s opsec at the moment. General Stunnberg is doing all he can but this situation is never been rehearsed, I mean in real large scale. Like all our drills, paper drills that are easy to make look good. And that seems to be the problem, our system has been too easy to make look strong. And we’ve fooled ourselves to that. Papers with impressive numbers and brigades that don’t exist. It reminds me kinda USSR style 5 years plans…

-You underestimate our Army?

-No, I’m speaking about facts. Our Air Force dropped its first bombs after WW2 just 2 years ago. We have been shooting with artillery for 60 years and that is an ancient weapon in modern warfare. We lack everything new that has real effects on modern battlefield. And we don’t have real actual troops that can be used immediately. And we have ignored the mental side. Hybrid Warfare, I remember when people laughed to the idea and said that it is nothing new, that in WW2 USSR dropped propaganda leaflets and how Finish soldiers wiped their ass’s with them. But haven’t see anyone wiping his ass with a iPhone yet… Also this Simo Häyhä effect, that snipers will do the job and 250.000 rifles. But it seems that rifles don’t keep internet open, stop radio waves or prevent corruption. And what if neighbor has 60.000.000 rifles? We just don’t know how to fight Hybrid War. And we lack the NATO’s capabilities, I assume I don’t need to remind you people what those are. Like nukes etc.

-So we can’t defend ourselves now? Is that what you are going to say to mr. President?

-Yes. if Russia crosses the border in east, we can’t stop them.

-Okay, we have to go with that. How about our situation on streets, minister Orpo?

-Bad. People are robbing shops now, police can’t shoot them, will be catastrophic. Roads are full from east, people are trying to escape and our few military convoys are heading there so it’s quite a jam. We have routed some traffic and blocked some roads for military only but it is slow. Also some rioters have start fires and there is reports of clashes between people. Civilians are on streets with weapons and they have a lot of them. Some dead on the shop robberies, especially on Alko locations. We have started our evacuation plan but it’s quite a chaos now. Banks have closed, they have no more cash. Countryside is not so chaotic but there is much less people there. Cities are the problems. All emergency branches are working on overload. Also reports of sabotage, little green men and… everything. We believe trolls are also making false reporting, there is a trend in these crime reports. Looks like they want to diverse our police to hunt refugees and any one who is foreign or looks like him. And it seems to work. I must say that we have been totally surprised and unprepared for this.

-How did our people went nuts so fast? Would it take usually weeks?

-We believe the internet blackout was boosting this. Our Air Force was also flying last night low and over cities when we have first reports of Åland. People were calling to emergency numbers that is this war.

-Well, is this? President said this is still a drill. Russia said it is in war state, Martial laws, full mobilization. We are saying drills, are we giving wrong message here about Åland situation?

The door opened. President walked in with two bodyguards. He looked pissed. Really pissed.

-Hellou government. Now what did I say about Åland?

-Oh, Mr President, good that you are here… you… umh… said about Åland that you condemn the Russian peace keeping drills there and that we are not in war…

-Yes. No. No, I said that I condemn Russian occupation there. Just like everyone. We are not in war. If I say that, Russia will cross the border. If they cross the border, then we are in war. Clear?

-With all respect, sir, Åland is our border. The line is crossed.

-Carl, that is true. But that is demilitarized region. If we send there military, that would be breaking the international rules. We are trying to get UN to act and OSCE to avoid more…

-Just like in Crimea? Ukraine?

-Yes. No. No no, this is not like that. Wait. This is just like that. Can’t send troops because otherwise Russia will attack in full force. What am I trying to do here? Shit. I can’t call Vladimir, he is in coma. Shoigu doesn’t answer the phone. NATO likes us but can’t help, my Generals don’t like me…

His eyes went wet.

-For Christ sake, do something, you are the bloody government!

He turned around, walked out of the room and slammed the door. A loud ”Perkele! was echoing in the bunker…

…to be continued… stay tuned… 😉

Part 7

Russia, Bolshoy Bor, 100km east from Lovisa Finland 1213 zulu.

Big trucks were parked in the forest near the waterline. They were well camouflaged. Two identical drones were at the beach end of a 300 meter long concrete pier. Burning tires near make a thick smoke cover over them. It was already getting dark. Inside one truck three men were sitting by computers, they had NBC suits but have taken the gas masks off.

-What’s the radiation level, lieutenant?

-Inside normal, outside still average 33mSv.

-Sir! We have a go! Lovisa nuclear plant is on alert! They have announced emergency breakdown on their alert information network! Cyber Dee has confirmed!

Two men in heavy NBC suits pulled of pins from bomb looking devices under the big drones pylons, start its propelled engine and pulled of cables that were keeping the batteries fully loaded till the last moment. They both lifted up their left hand as a sign that all is ready.

Drone started to roll on a smooth long pier and lifted off to the darkening sky without any lights flashing. It was painted matte black. The engine was quiet and the propel made only a humming kinda low noise. That was GRU night intel drone but now it was modificated to carry two pressurized canisters of a mixture of Barium, Uranium oxide, low level Strontium and some other radioactive nasty shit in liquid methane. Best way to make a radioactive cloud was a boom they say. The second drone was quickly launched with same method. It just had a slightly different flight path.

-Fucking hell. They made us wait here 6 hours. How much our drone crew got radiation?

-Well, their radiation level meters show here like 2Sv, but it can be more since we gave them the downgraded meters. One of them has a bleeding nose…

-We can’t take them in, they are too contaminated.

-They are conscripts after all, from Krasnoyarsk NBC school.

-Yes, that’s why GRU took them… okay, clean up, call the bulldozer. I’ll go and relief those poor bastards from their misery. Write down Lieutenant that these boys will have medals for Motherland. We give them both two.

-Da sir. Special missions, special medals…

Major went to those two drone mechanics and ordered them in to line, salute them and then pulled out his Makarov and gave both two shots in the head. Two black drones were heading to Finland flying low and autonomously following the coast line and using islands and other stuff as cover. It would take only 35 minutes to get over Lovisa and 70 minutes over Helsinki. Black painted bulldozer was pushing the soil, two bodies and other equipment to a pre-made big deep trench. The tires were still burning.

Finland, near Jyväskylä, 500m SE from railroad bomb 1210 zulu

Lexa was decoding the numbers. It was a group message with lots of information, new targets, Finnish military movements and so on. And finally there was the piece of information they were waiting: a train has passed Jyväskylä station to south with 28 Leopard 2A6 tanks and other equipment, trucks, ammo and six passenger cars, the crews for those tanks few minutes ago. It would be on their spot in 10 minutes.

-Yes but a selfie with a blowing train behind you… that is the selfie of Year!

-Lexa, you are the commanding officer here. I can’t stop you. But I have to remind you about the dirty strontium trick we left there…

-Sukaa… yeah, maybe you are right. But we need to open the window and listen it coming closer. And confirm the crash. The noise will be enough. Okay, but I press the button!

-Sure Major. Here pasahlsta.

Two round holes appeared to the wind shield. One bullet went through Alexanders forehead and one smashed Pavels left shoulder. In three seconds he was on the ground and a Finnish Special Operator with a skull mask was holding a 9mm pistol on his temple and asking in perfect Russian where was the bomb. Pavel was so confused that it was their own guy and told them everything, even the strontium stuff and mines.

-Thanks comrade, guys you heard that? Call the train to stop, de-activate the bomb then let the train through! And you Paavo, come with us.

Pavel heard the Finnish commands and went white on his face. Bolshoi suka bljat. They were blown. Then all went black, his head was covered and ears taped that he couldn’t hear anything. He felt a small pinch and then it all went dark… deep dark.

Moscow, Ramenskoye AB, 1208 zulu.

Russian Navy Colonel Severnyiv and Admiral Ponomarev and two other officers were lifting of with a Hawker 800 business class jet that had a cruise speed 0.75 Mach. It was one of Navy’s VIP planes and was heading to Leningrad. Their estimated flight time was 55 minutes.

-Plane is secured. Looks like our info was slightly wrong, defense minister Shoigu wasn’t at the bomb scene, he is the General coups lead man. Or they have chosen him to be that. Now here is what we know about the coup, the hard core is Army Generals new ”revolution group”. They are all Zhirinovsky’s and Dugin’s and other nationalists strong supporters. Orthodox church has a strong supporting branch for this also. Old commies are with them also. Kirill is one of them. Valaam Monastery is filled with these guys. Also GRU is under them and part of FSB. MVD will join them, or already has. Their idea was to kill Putin and use that as a cause to Martial Laws and mobilization. The government was forced under gun point to accept this coup. They are used as puppets at the moment. Prime minister Medvedev is kidnapped and taken to the front, he is with 6th Army.

-What about other branches, Air Force, Strategic Rocket troops and others?

-They have no choice since they lack man power. Besides they will accept this, they have promised to take over Putin’s wealth and some other oligarchs money and give them massive piece of it. They will make the Military strong again and restore tight control. They seem to believe that the time has come to show some strength. Our Navy commander has been changed to a hardcore guy, Admiral Demrov.

-Oh shit, Demrov…

-Yes, Demrov. He is one of the Oligarchs who controls Leningrad weapon and money collecting mafia, the ”Squids”. Of course there are no straight links to him, he is one of Putin’s protegees and saved his life once in 80’s Leningrad. Now he is with the coup. There is huge money flowing in Leningrad, Gazprom, Primorsk, gas pipe, all big oil companies etc. He has also a dacha at Valaam Monastery and Komsomolskaya lake. Colonel Tshukarev and Ruhanov here have been investigating corruption in our military, undercover and secretly of course, and found some interesting connections. Putin tried to keep that under his control and started to wipe out people who were getting too… umh, let’s say greedy. Or opposing his politics. After Ukraine the mass pile of weak heart Generals were planning to go public of his secret power but FSB arranged them cardiological issues. These sanctions are doing massive damage to these millionaire Generals and other governmental leaders. Actually they believe the will lose their power, they fear Maidan at Moscow. They think that going war will solve the problems, they want to take Finland and then negotiate a final solution with west, get the sanctions disappear and then lift the oil price with Syria stuff. Fucking old school Clausewitz nuts…

-War is just politics…

-That’s what USSR was about. We were is constant war since WW2. We needed to keep our citizens in fear so that they would obey. Communists used the victory as the proof that it was the best system. We had three holidays a year for only that. We marched in columns to celebrate victory of war… for 45 years… some heavy irony… And Putin is bringing it back. Except there is no victory and they think they need one. Crimea was not enough. And that’s why they are poking NATO and USA constantly. They try to provoke a war so they can go in full war mode, have a victory and then take control.

-But NATO isn’t going for it, it knows it’s just idiotic and they can easily prevent our attacks. Not to mention USA.

-Exactly. Ukraine is too big for full war, we can loose that. But Finland is perfect target. And Sweden after that, if it doesn’t join NATO. But it will.

-But Finland is EU. Won’t they do something?

-That’s the unknown factory. We believe they will do something. Kreml believes it can keep EU out of this situation with it’s hybrid tricks. Pure Macchiavellism. Like the Venice negotiator. Good old commie style bullshit and force. What else can you except from a KGB brainwashed colonel? Does he know any else? With his Dugin clan which is a poisonous mixture of Satanism and geopolitics, he is heading to destruction. He is leading the country to that.

-But people like him. Or most of did. Does.

-Russia had its good moment in early 2000 when oil price was good and the 90’s mayhem calmed. There was no other way than up. Our economy got better because oil and gas, not because we started to work better. Putin channeled money to new roads, infrastructure and military. Military meant also jobs and we need to keep up our nuclear deterrence. And the borders were open, 10 million moved out and iphones in. He had to allow that, people gave him respect for that and they felt like things would really get better. And of course things get better comparing the USSR shit. But he and his brigade are no better that some old commie politbyro, they are getting old, they don’t want to give up power, they can’t eject the old USSR out from themselves. Russian mentality is like a caveman in modern global world…

-Caveman with a nuclear stick…

-Yes, and world knows that. And fear that. Only that.

Russia, Tsvetotshnoje, 10km NW from 6th Army HQ’s 1301 zulu.

Koroljev’s Spetsnatz team ”Pjat” had Finnish Army camo suits, gear and insignias. Even the weapons were exact same, RK 7.62, model 76 with same upgrades that Finns have made. It was basically AK47, but better quality and used same ammo. Few of the guys spoke perfect Finnish, most of them could communicate with Finnish military orders. The have trained for 12 months for this operation. They knew maps, street signs, the canal by memory. They have been on Finland’s side as tourists on separate missions on the area, they knew the civilian houses near their targets, who lived there, they knew Finish plans how to explode the canal locks, they were experts in de-activating bombs and making them. Now they were loading their equipment into 8 Mi-24’s and 4 Mi-8’s which has also Finnish Air Force markings.

-Colonel Koroljev, our intel says that everything is good at the Finnish side. No indication of Finn’s moving on those areas. Some radio traffic at Lappeenranta but they seem to be more concentrating on mobilization than the channel area.

-Never estimate everything is good. There’s always something.

-Yes, Lieutenant-Colonel, of course sir.

-How many grenade launchers we have?

-10 sir. The Special Regiment that comes with wheels will bring more and also ATGM’s and Strelas. Their BTR82’s have 30mm canons and we have upgraded night vision and infrared cams to them.

-What’s the status of support helo group?

-5 Ka-50’s will fly on both side of the channel covering the landing parts. The will do false attacks to the Army Academy HQ’s at Lappeenranta after the Pjat has landed, they are gearing up a battalion there, it’s also on the reach of our artillery. One GRU group is going to mine the bridge that leads to the landing site 1.

-Good. The Regiment, what’s the estimate time they reach Lappeenranta, the landing point 1?

-The first recon group will drive straight as fast as they can, if the road is clear, it’s 25 minutes. But sat picts show some traffic jams, we might need to clear the road with BTR’s pulling those aside, can take 40 minutes or more.

-Okay, when the first landing helo’s come back, load them with second group and go back immediately. Order some Mi-24’s to blow up cars on roads to the channel on both side when they have unloaded the troops and ammo. Hit and run. Then back to the third run. Fill them with ammo supplies. Keep that canal roads open, no matter what. And make those canal locks bastions. It’s 75 meters drop from Finland to Vyborg for that water mass.

-Yes sir. What about group Vosim? The Vuoksi river flow?

-It’s much easier, there’s two water power plant’s, no canal locks. We take over those and make them bastions. It’s only 6km to the first water plant, 10km to the second. We go in first with Vosim groups helo’s, at same time our 2nd Special Regiment drives over border from Svetogorsk and we have a armored train solution also. That has two tank companies that can shoot from move. The railway goes by them stream.

-Sir, the equipment is loaded.

-Good. Order men to holding positions. Keep engines warm. What’s the status of Vosim?

-Vosim send text message, ”Comrades in Pjat. Tell Papa that we are ready for the butter race!”

-Harasho. Inform 6th that Koroljev is ready.

NATO HQ’s, Brussels 1246 zulu

-Sir, you need to see this, this is breaking out on the net like hell…

First they thought it was a dash-cam, it looked like a truck was going slowly to a border check point, barbed wire and soldiers in masks. Russian flag was waving, people were standing outside their cars with papers in hands looking nervous. Then they realized that it was a copy of a live periscope feed, there was 665 watchers, hearts were bubbling and one comment was on the screen ”Who waits forever anyway?”. Then they saw one soldier yelling something and pointing the camera with his hand. Three other fully geared Russian border troopers pointed their machine guns to the cockpit and they could hear the driver laughing. Then the truck’s engine started roaring, Kristaps was giving some gas, like he was saying them ”Fuck you” with his his 18-wheeler. They could hear the trucks window opened and he was yelling something like ”Minja Russki njet harashoo, problem, problem? Very bad breaks in my truck, need come closer!” One soldier yelled ”Stop! Stop! Njet kamera!” The truck started to slowly roll towards the soldiers… ”Breaks heating! Need closer to stop! Isvinitje, harashoo! Proplem!” The soldiers take better aiming, one officer jumped out from somewhere, yelled something to the driver and his soldiers, took his side arm out of the holster… ”Please, heating, need closer to stop! Ponimaiju?” Truck was rolling slowly, the bridge was downhill on that end, the breaks were squeaking… But what you didn’t see on that video was that suddenly Kristaps took a hand grenade from some where, it was a plastic toy one, and wave it to the soldiers. Then he let the breaks loose and the truck started to roll faster… the officer started to shoot at the wind shield, then the soldiers also opened fire, the camera flipped over and you could see the roof of the cockpit and Kristaps head getting two straight bullet hits and falling out of the picture. There was a big blood stain over the picture and you could hear that the truck was rolling few meters and then all went yellow with a loud crashing sound. Then just black. No connection.

-This was at Kaliningrad, Sovetsk crossing point 40 minutes ago. Russian border guards shoot dead a Lithuanian truck driver named Kristaps Nevarauske. The truck then exploded with a massive force killing several people, 8 cars were flipped over, some of them fell to the Nema-river, half of the bridge is full of burning cars. The Russian border post is wiped out, the bridge might collapse. Also a lots of chemicals burning there, fire brigade from Sovetsk needs gas masks. Russian helo’s flying over the scene, some of them have been on Lithuanias side for short period. The NATO’s 2nd Cavalry regiments first company is rushed to positions near area. Also Russia has send two companies with BTR’s and trucks to Sovetsk form Gvardeysvk, a tank company is heading there from Kaliningrad. Lihuanian fire brigade is not allowed to the bridge. We have now NATO and Russian troops with live ammunition across each others and Russia has violated our airspace.

-How’s the media reacting on this?

-They are saying that Russia has shot death Lithuanian truck driver and caused a massive explosion that has killed over 30 people, most of them EU citizens. They also say that the truck driver had some brake problems and tried to ask help but was brutally killed by Russian soldiers. They say that the truck might have exploded for over heated gas that ignited when the shot at him. But they are clearly shocked by the Russian actions.

-Why he was sending this live periscope thing?

-It might be just he was worried. Or just for fun. We don’t know. They have dash cams in all over Russia, for insurance reasons. He just used the periscope to make a backup, it gets public right away, don’t need to load it from memory card to internet and so on? Or his employer needed to follow his cargo going over and so on.

-What about Russian media?

-They are trying to claim this was a terrorist attack.

-By Finns?

-Russia Today said that the truck was owned by a Finnish-Estonian company and that some of the cargo was from Finland. They clearly try to use this but it’s absurd.

-Well, Russian media is aimed for internal purposes, they don’t care about lying, its the alternative narrative idea, that ”West is lying and using propaganda against us” and that they prove it by telling opposite views of things. They want an enemy. But why?

-Sir, there’s now rumors of a nuclear situation in Finland. People are screaming on facebook that a atom bomb has exploded at south Finland…

-Here we go again…

…to be continued… stay tuned… 😉

This is fiction. Raw text, method one. Will be edited to better shape later. The train is moving, can’t jump of now… 😉

Part 8

USA, White House, situation room 1303 zulu

-Mrs President, we don’t know is Putin live or not. But we do know that Shoigu has the nuclear keys.

-Have we called him? Has he called us?

-We have tried and no, he has not called us. They keep saying all lines are reserved for military purposes only in Moscow. Our ambassador has tried to contact Kreml, but they keep saying that wait. Kreml is heavily guarded at the moment.

-Defense department, what’s your prediction?

-Heavy increase of Russian military action at Finnish border and Baltic Sea but no indications of Strategic Missile troops movements or activity, yet. We have reports of Pacific Fleet going out, mobilizations in far-east, central Russia and south. Northern fleet is staying close to Murmansk and Norway, just some normal patrol stuff in middle Atlantic. But there was an incident at Kaliningrad and now our troops are in kinda stand of with Russians at Baltics.

-Kinda?

-Well, you have to see this CNN report, can we have it on screen… thank you. As you see Russians shot death one truck driver and caused a massive explosion. This is all over the internet now. This with Putin stuff… well, media is hyperventilating now. Polish government announced a while ago of a mobilization of 40k reservists. Suwalki Gap.

-I can’t believe this is happening to me. Bill got a blow job gate and I’m having WW3…

-Mrs President, if I may, I’m national security counselor Bradwick by the way… yes, if I may…

-May what?

-…sir, I mean, madam, Mrs President, this is a huge opportunity.

-What? To start WW3 and wipe out the humanity from this planet?

-Yes… well no. I mean to prevent it. And make you more popular than Bill. We have latest polls after your speech, your response was widely accepted, especially from the right wing…

-They always like war rhetoric. And that was a text book response in this kinda crises situation… how many points we did after the speech?

-We did plus 18.

-Wou. Was it the blue dress? Tell me more about your idea, Hardwick.

-Bradwick… sir… madam President. The idea is to make a deal with China and Japan. Then go hard against Russia and save Europe. It’s win-win. You create peace in east and solve problems in Europe. And our economy will skyrocket.

-China and Japan? How?

-We promise Japan the Kurill Islands, give China a chunk of Siberia, Manchuria or what they need. And China will promise not to expand their borders to west like the sand islands and so on. This needs some secret negotiations, I believe we have a scenario for this some where, or look what Kissinger did. Now this needs that you take a serious war mode against Russia, it will look good on right wing and military. Russia is not that impressive in military capabilities, we don’t need to form massive divisions or have a mobilization, we get enough good crazy volunteers and Europe has been gearing up quite good. Besides they need this too, too much dividing inside European Union, we don’t want to loose that continent, it is our best market and ally.

-So China and Japan goes to war against Russia? How the hell we gona get those areas for them?

-It’s all hybrid madam. Those areas in Russia’s far east are literally empty. Only Vladivostok is some how thriving cause the harbor and Navy there. It costs Russia billions to keep that area. And they are poor. We don’t need a war. We just use what Russia does: refugees. And some murky diplomatic.

-This sounds too complicated. Besides murky diplomacy is not what we want to do. It tends to blow on your face sooner or later.

-We let others do that murky part. United Nations have had enough of Russia’s veto on the UN council. They want to kick them out. Or at least make them behave. They shoot passenger planes out of the sky and annex other countries and make UN impotent. They need their credibility back. Strong UN is also our win. We are after all trying to make this planet a better place…

-Okay, how you get refugees to Siberia?

-Climate change is causing massive problems to China. They are over crowded. They can just walk over the border, they are tough people and can survive in harsh conditions. When they pop up on Russia, we send in UN observers and food, medical and all kinda humanitarian help. The local Russian governors there are easy to bribe. Or we don’t need to bribe them, they’ll just steel some of the stuff, we let them. And we give them money to build up refugee camps etc. Besides Russia will use them as cheap labor, they can’t beat Chinese in work efficiency or attitude. Chinese don’t drink. We call this all a temporary solution to save lives. Russia will vote yes because it brings them money and good reputation, also smooths down the war against Finland. And they think they can ”Russify” them but… well, it goes other way, China will ”Chinafy” Siberia. There is ethnic populations like Yakutians who are much closer to Chines culture than Russian. They will understand this too late. And by that time there is 3 million Chinese there. The Kurills and Japanese, it is after all their ancient land. And Russia doesn’t do anything with those islands. Japan can offer them money for those Islands. And Russia needs cash. It all looks like Russia also has a solution to keep peace in eastern parts. Because they need the military at the European side. That’s where we are active. Let the UN and China, Japan be active in east. We just support. It is after all humanitarian project.

-Interesting thinking Mr. Bradwick. But what if Russia and China makes a deal and this actually makes them closer?

-China understands the power of reputation. Good reputation. Just think of Panda’s. They also know that Russia has lost its reputation. And Europe is their biggest market area. Funny thing is that this same kinda plan has been up in United Nations, at the Near Future Crises think tank group year ago. Or scenario. In that not public report they predict a war for the Siberian empty lands between China and Russia but we got interested of this after we find out that Russia was causing and using this refugee flow to Europe. This is actually not war, not even Hybrid War, this is happening. China has send Russian language courses in medium and long waves for years, they have over 2 million illegal workers in Russia at the moment, by the blessing of Oligarchs. We’ve found out that China has a whole department in Defense Ministry which is thinking these kinda things. And they made some approaches to us after Crimea.

-But what about North Korea?

-We make a deal with China that they kick their puppet out from the window. And let Korea unite. They will gladly let that happen after we promise them Siberia. You will win the Korea War and people will love you for that…

-Oh bloody hell, I’m getting goose bumps…

-We’ve been looking closely Russia and it seems they are putting all to one card at the moment. They might go all in, they actually don’t believe that you would go harsh on them because the are not in reality confrontating NATO at the moment, they are looking a fast victory from Finland and that is part of their ”Break EU” plan. It is more internal politics than geopolitics, they are moving to totalitarianism at the moment and need war for that. Stalin did it in 1939, they gain something, hurt Finland bad but also united that country. This time they believe in surprise and confusion. Also the Finns have been in sleep, kinda old Cold War era remnants. Or they have tried to play nice with them and got betrayed. Russia has this long game plan of making West weak and possibly breaking NATO but it is going sour. And the economic sanctions are working but this could be a bad side effect we didn’t see coming. And Russia want’s to prevent Sweden and Finland joining NATO.

-Has Sweden asked to join?

-Actually the King of Sweden has asked kindly that if he could visit White House ASAP. I believe that’s it.

-Okay, mr. Hardwick, give me full report of this plan with details in 12 hours, others keep me informed and get me someone from Kreml on line. That horse face Lavrov will do.

-Mrs. President, the plan is on your desk. I send it just before this meeting.

-Okay, you follow me. We have some business to do. Others, dismiss.

Swedish Army HQ’s, 1325 zulu.

-Sir, we have new intel from Åland. Looks like the S-400’s are already there…

-What? Impossible!

-Sir, our drones have captured signatures of launcher vehicles, command post and traffic between air borne radars and those. Also this picture popped up on internet, we geolocated it, it is Marienhamn.

-Has NATO confirmed?

-Yes sir. They have same readings and also satellite pictures showing one unit with erected launch tubes. We haven’t seen the typical radars for that unit, yet. But it doesn’t need them necessarily.

-But Marienhamn’s airfield is too short for that size cargo, how the hell they managed to land those beasts!?

-In parts sir. We counted that if you send launcher with empty tubes, you can land there. And then you send missile’s in four packs. And Antonov’s need a minimum fuel load for short range, those came from Leningrad.

-So what’s in the Kaliningrad ship unit?

-Anything basically sir. One Ropucha can carry 25 BTR’s or 12 T-90’s. Or three Bastion coastal missile units with Yakhont’s.

-How far away that unit is from Marienhamn?

-260km heading 181. It has heavy escort, two helo’s are constantly over it as their radar’s and eyes, they have made clear that they will open fire against any ships approaching it, they fired some 30mm bursts over a fishing ship awhile ago. They are going without lights, it’s dark now. They have 8 hours still to Marienhamn.

-Well, if they have already S-400 there, this unit is covered with that. Russia can be bluffing with empty missile tubes but you can’t take that risk. I’m betting that they have more S-400’s and coastal missile battery or two in those Ropucha’s. Then they can ease few ships around it and have a range up to 400km against any plane or ship around it.

-Sir, what if they have Iskander’s in those Ropucha’s?

-Iskander’s… with nuclear tips? Call Beklinge now!

Swedish Air Force Base, some where near Beklinge 1330 zulu.

-New intel sir. You are not going to like this.

-Let me see… possibly S-400 already in Åland, new estimated cargo of 4 Ropucha’s is Iskander’s that has nuclear payload possibility, have to be confirmed…

-They are sending drones now, also NATO is scanning for radioactive sources. There was radioactive clouds spotted in south Finland just while ago, rumors of a core meltdown in Lovisa nuclear plant…

-Makes sense. How does a nuclear weapon state keeps enemy away? All it takes a rumor. One bloody rumor that they have a nuclear bomb some where there. They might even have one there already. The smallest warhead is the size of a football. And what does it mean?

-That if we attack, it might blow. And then it is our fault.

-Yes. Russkies are playing this good. Too good.

-You mean that the core meltdown is fake?

-Yes it is. In emergency situations like mobilization and so on, they start shutting down nuclear reactors. If it would have failed in Lovisa, it would have meltdown hours ago. And there was two separate clouds. But now people have been warned. They see Russian nuclear warheads every where.

-But that is a major violation of the demilitarization of Åland…

-Who cares? They are already there. They didn’t care it when they went to Crimea, same rumors was on the air. And Russia send there strategic bombers. It doesn’t have to be there, just the possibility is enough. Call up the 103. We need some new planning.

General Natalya Topor was watching BBC news from one of the screens and smiling…

-Everyone, look BBC now!

”…and UN has condemned Russia’s actions at Aland saying that it is a violation of the demilitarization. However Russian media has showed destroyed armored vehicle with a RPG hole and said that this is anti-tank weapon used against their peace keeping troops and that it killed 3 of their soldiers. Also high power sniper rifles have been used against them, 2 is said to be critically wounded and one is dead. They say that this is proof of Finland secretly trying to militarize Aland and that they have the right as a UN Council member to act and secure peace there. They have also found hidden weaponry from Marienhamn airport area, here is footage from one of the claimed weapon caches, anti-aircraft missiles, mines and anti-tank missiles that can be used against ships. The cache has Finnish military…”

-Take a note, use that RPG hole! They shoot first and that weapon is anti-tank weapon! And dig out all hunters in Aland, they have lot’s of weapons and weapons are military! Finland is attacking United Nations here, not only Russia!

”…Lovisa nuclear plant few hours ago. We can’t be sure is it a meltdown, the radioactivity there is high. Finnish officials have not confirmed but they are saying that radioactivity is also high near Helsinki, 10 miles to east Lovisa direction. There was a explosion recorded on the security camera, here you can see it was just over the reactor building and then it went down. If you remember from Fukushima, similar explosion was recorded because the pressure and hydrogen blew the roof…”

-Okay, push now Chernobyl memories on the internet, the radioactivity fallout map, use weather reports, say that it will go over Europe. Estimate massive casualties, something like 100k or more. And Fukushima is good too. Use the suitcase bomb narrative also, that some far-right group did a bomb attack. That their idea was blew up a nuclear plant to contaminate Leningrad and Russia. Terrorism!

”…mobilization of Russian Military Forces is now ongoing. NATO has reported that the whole Western Military District is now on 80% readiness but troops at the Finnish border are 100% and other districts are possibly in 80% readiness in 24 hours. Situation in Kaliningrad is tense since the Russian border guards killed and blew up the truck that…”

-What the hell was that truck about? Find out all information you can and bring it to me ASAP! And that video that is going around, tell that it was terrorist that provoked us to shoot! Dig out some suicide bombers from Iraq and Afghanistan, push videos of those into facebook, twitter… everywhere. Oh, and Breiviks massive bomb in Norway! Use picture where he is making the Hitler salute! And the bloody civilians and dead children.

”…EU leaders have now decided to call up the Lisbon Treaty and send humanitarian help to Finland to evacuate and take the Lovisa nuclear plant under control. Also OSCE is sending observers to Finnish borders and trying to get into Aland. Russia has invited them but not given permission to enter there yet saying it is too dangerous because there are para-military groups that need to be arrested first…”

-Lisbon Treaty… people, remind that Finland is not a NATO member as isn’t Sweden also. Push out that Lisbon Treaty is only humanitarian and accepts only non-military help! NATO is the military of European Union and spread rumors that Hungary, Greece, Turkey and some others will oppose all new members to NATO. Who hates the Swedes most in Europe? Anyone? Italy? Portuguese? Find out and target those with trollers, use our Muslim friends from Syria, Palestine and Indian friends in that! Also alert Indonesia, Vietnam and others. Dig out the Swed’s old nuclear bomb plans from 60’s and give Israel some dirty pokes, they hate Sweden cause they have this heavy pro-Palestine wing. And leak some classified bullshit to Mother Jones, Tea Party and other American tin foil people that this is the conspiracy of the end of the World to start WW3 and wipe out Russia! Give them the drone’s video of the explosion, nobody has seen it before. Call it nuclear explosion, possibly a bomb. They’ll add the atom-bomb themselves to it… fucking horror porn people… so easy to use…

-Natalya, the document of Finnish concentration camps when they attacked us in 1942 is ready.

-Yes, it’s all there. Also some ”new discovered evidence” of one camp, we have skulls with holes in the neck, children also. It is really from our own camp but…

-Never say that, never even think about that! You have to believe your own bullshit, otherwise you get sloppy and it will show. The tone is very important. Devil is hidden in the small details!

-Of course General.

”…and now for the weather, high pressure area is moving from north towards middle Europe bringing some cold air and windy conditions, slight rain…”

-And use this weather. It’s perfect for us. Winter is coming…

Part 9

Finland, near Helsinki, armored vehicle 1402 zulu

Finnish president Sauli Niinistö was sitting uncomfortable inside Finnish AMV with two fully geared military police, two body guards and his adjutant and secretary. They were heading to Finnish Army HQ’s but they were going slow, traffic was jammed and it was already dark. They had gas masks ready on their seats, the adjutant was checking radiation meters, AMV’s high pressure system, his side arm and ipad. They could hear from the radio that people were told to stay inside and that radiation is moving slowly towards west from Lovisa and that another dangerous are is spotted 10km from Helsinki to east. Secretary took her phone and started to call his friends about the radiation.

-Sir, it was public radio. But yes, this is military vehicle. I apologize. Sir.

Secretary and president looked each others like two cats ready to cause a mayhem but secretary was wise enough to cool down and started to send text messages instead.

-Adjutant Mäkinen, nothing new on that pad?

-Sir president, the cloud is small but it has many elements, strontium, uranium, americium, barium and some other minor elements. It looks like human made, no nuclear plant has that kinda cocktail in their arsenals. Meaning that this is not an accident.

-Russia?

-Well… what do you think Mr president?

-I need facts, I can’t guess things!

-We can’t approach the contaminated areas for weeks, internet is full of speculations and rumors, media is guessing all the time, they like to look professional…

-Professional? How about our Army? Looks very professional, takes me at gunpoint and blame me for Russia annexing Åland. Then says what the hell we have to do. I got this. But they bloody hell game and fucked things up. And my government is like kindergarten…

-Yes sir. Indeed sir.

-And you knew this all the time Mäkinen perkele, didn’t you?

-No sir. I have not a single clue.

-Fuck you. You are all the same. They betrayed Kekkonen also in 70’s. I know this shit.

Then he saw one of the armed soldiers looking at him and holding his MP5 little bit tighter. He opened his mouth to say something but went silent, coughed and started to stare out of the tiny window to the cold night that was coming… and an awkward horrible silent flew in that AMV from that window, like a black doubled headed bird made out of frozen oil… or something really fucking cold. The engine was roaring when the driver turned his 8X8 of from the road to go around traffic jam. Then the AMV turned back to main road and the tires were humming against the road. Then suddenly president Niinistö’s phone rang. Or it started to play Russia’s National Anthem…

-Oh yes, here… everyone shut up, this is important… Hello, hello… this is Sauli… is this you, Vladimir? Putin, president of Russia? …I am so glad to hear your voice, Vladimirovitsh, you are for God’s sake alive!… what, little bit bad connection here… we are in a tank. What? Invading Russia? No no no, dear Vladimir we have totally different information here in Finland… what.. it was sarcasm? I got it ha ha ha… you are funny as always… in hospital? Yes I heard about the explosion. No, it was not my job. You arrested Finns doing it? Well, you know that they were guys working for you remember? …double agents? Dear Vladimir, you know we don’t do stuff like that. We are honest people. We have no secrets. Unlike others… no no, I trust you, believe me I was meaning like some some… umh… other countries u know ha ha ha… Yes. Sarcasm. So what is this that you have Army on my border and Shoigu is u now, I mean president? …can’t talk too long? In pain, okay say fast then, what? A coup? Military coup at Kremlin and you are in a secret hospital complex protected by your loyal guys? Oh my good that is terrible, I can feel you bro, I can feel you… no, not the pain. Good morphine? That is good, they will heal you. So you have no power in Russia, I mean command of the Army? You have? How? Shoigu is your guy?! You knew this was coming? Oh I am glad to hear that! So you are not going to attack Finland? …what do you mean depends… of what?! oh sarcasm…ha ha ha…harashoo Vlad, so you will call them of and we can also call our troops of? We don’t have troops… don’t say that, we have a lot of troops! We have like… okay, you got me, we have not so much troops… we have great hockey? Yes Vlad, good hockey. Peace hockey. So, when Shoigu is pulling of troops? Right now? Already? And Åland? That also? Wonderful! Can I say this to media? Not now? Ah, understand, security. Okay, you need rest, can I call you… understand da harashoo, you contact me. Well, Get well soon! Glad this is getting resolved! Dasvidanja Vladimir, dasvidanja!

-Did you hear that, did you fucking hear that!? This is going to end well, I’m going to handle this from now on. Driver! get to the HQ’s and drive like Räikkönen!

-Yes sir!

Finnish Army HQ, secret command bunker, near Helsinki 1452 zulu.

General Kaski was giving the latest situation report for his staff. Three screens were showing the activities over Finland, Baltic Sea and West Russia. People looked pale and shaky. This was the first time since 1940’s that Finland was really in war. War. That’s what the military said, and they were right. They didn’t use political jargon when discussing about matters, their thinking based on facts, not gaining popularity or voters.

-We have linked our radar data base to Swedish one and Norway is feeding us data also. NATO is feeding Sweden so we have valuable stuff from there too. As you can see, Baltic Sea is filed with Russian stuff. They have 70% of their Baltic Fleet north of Gotland. One sub and destroyer is heading to Danish Straits. Our sea routes are blocked, we can use only the coast line, don’t want to give them easy targets. We use our radars just in surveillance mode at the moment, Russian Air Force hasn’t cross our borders except in Åland. But they have done multiple false attacks and pulled their aircraft just before the border away. They want us to reveal our radars with that stuff. We believe that the radioactive attack was done by some GRU special operations, possible cruise missile or drone stuff. Or land based units. Lovisa Nuclear plant is now evacuated and is in safe mode. It should keep itself cool but there is some volunteers from the workers holding the controls, hope they last long enough. The other nuclear cloud is not big and is not heading anymore to Helsinki. But people are in panic and we need to arrange evacuations. Russia is flying heavily at the Baltic Sea, they are still feeding Marienhamn with constant transport activity and also new report that they might have the S-400 already there hot and ready. Sweden has been tracking 4 Ropucha class transport ships and said that they possibly are carrying Iskanders. They are checking the possibility of nuclear versions of those…

-Sir, president Niinistö is on his way, 5 minutes and he is here.

-Thank you captain.

-Also this just came in…

-Show me… Russian helicopters spotted over the border, heading to Lappeenranta, Finnish Air Force markings. Do we have Mi-24’s, repeat Do we have Mi-24 Hinds? …what’s this? Where did this came from?

-Sir, from border guards at Nuijamaa. They were flying low, they didn’t open fire when they saw our markings. The Hind’s didn’t also shoot. They counted 13 plus copters.

-Bloody hell, Air Force, do we have something that you forget to tell?

-No, we don’t have any of those. We have some old Mi-8’s but they are at Utti now. And we are not flying on that area right now.

-Fuck. This is it. They are dropping recon and first groups inside. Lappeenranta… yes, the canal. They want take that under control. Alert Lappeenranta units and rush to the canal! Take all you got and tell border to empty the main road, lay mines and prepare first defense. They will send land troops ASAP to get through. And get counter battery radars ready, they might use them also! Do we have any ready artillery there? One battery of 122mm? Useless. Load anti-tank and stingers, hit them from side. Colonel, we have a plan for this, do we? It’s some where on the file D… General Stunnberg, what do you think?

-Let’s wait that it will be confirmed. What if they just poke in and test, turn around and monitor our reaction? No shots fired yet?

-Yes, they might be aliens or something… General, may we still go on this? I mean…

-Sir, our radars have managed to ping also low level helo’s on both sides of the channel, possibly Ka’s. And over Svetogorsk, heading to Imatra.

-Yes, Russian aliens… General Kaski, order counter measures. Open fire, do what you have to do.

-HQ’s, we are now in state of war. Battle-stations, prepare your troops or what you have…

-Wait wait wait! I’m the President! I order you to stop!

President Niinistö rushed into the HQ’s with his crew. All stopped, some tried to make a salute, some one dropped a coffee mug.

-I have spoken to Russian president Mr Putin. He has promised peace. He has ordered his troops to retreat.

-But… but sir, Russia is attacking us right now, they have crossed the border with three helo groups!

-Are you sure? Show me.

-Here, look these reports! They are using our markings, flying low, heading to Saimaa channel, that’s…

-Our markings? Could it be a mistake? Our own helicopters? Have they shoot?

-No, they haven’t shoot. But…

-Shut up now General Kaski. I have just a phone conversation with legal president of Russia, Mr Putin. My staff can confirm, they all hear it. We promised to not start war.

-Sir, if I may remind you, you are not the head of the Army, General Stunnberg is.

-No, but I am head of this country and I negotiate with other presidents. I order you to stop hostilities. Now.

-Then I need to speak in the radio. And you can give orders on television. Internet is working also, isn’t it?

-Yes it is.

-Good, you see that Russia can’t be behind everything if our internet is working too.

-Sir. There is a protocol that needs to be used in situations like this.

-Protocol? I am the protocol! Enough with that nonsense!

-Sir I mean that we verify the number and check that he has given the order to some one else and media. It must be public, otherwise it is useless.

-Look, situation in Russia is at the moment more against… well, let’s say like this, he can’t go public, he is under treatment and medications. He is wounded. We can go public and we must to give the right signal that we did not attack Putin with a bomb. Starting hostilities will just make us look more the bad guy.

-We… the bad guy? Mr president….

-It gives us the upper hand in negotiations. World will see that we are for peace. We can still avoid this war.

-Are you saying that we let Russia invade the whole country and then we start negotiating for peace Mr president?

-No! I’m saying we prevent them invading and then negotiate!

-Sir, you should see this, here’s a video of our troops securing the gates of the channel in Lappeenranta. It’s on youtube.

-Let’s see… bloody fast work! Good job from our guys! Send them message… hold positions, be aware of possible helicopters on the area, good job.

Funny looking guy with civilian clothing ran to Kuralenko. He had smirk smile.

-Yes General?

-Now call president Niinistö again and say that you want to let some trapped Finnish people come over the border, that they will come with the Finnish passenger train at Vainikkala and some evacuated Finn’s which will come by your military trucks. Say that they are evacuated because some Russians have threatened them with violence. Remember the Svetogorsk point also.

-Polna. The time has come. President Shoigu has given me orders to cross the Finnish border. Our first groups are inside and without any casualties. In few minutes our first special regiments go over at Nuijamaa and Svetogorsk. We don’t expect heavy resistance, if not at all. Remember, we are polite people…

All started to laugh…

-…yes, very polite, we are going there to secure peace. To save Finns from the Fascist coup and prevent a war between them and us. Remember that. Avoid civilian casualties. Let them shoot first. We might took some hits, also heavy ones. But that is war. And those hits make us stronger. We make them pay of course. They were after all trying to sneak into NATO just like the Swedish bastards. But they will be peace drilled also. We have some slight changes, colonel will tell them to you after this. We hit them with few Iskanders on the rear, show them that resistance is futile. Also our Air Force will do heavy patrol flights over the cities, let them feel fear. If everything goes by the plan, in the morning we are at Kymijoki. Our intel reports that Finnish Army has managed to get up only few battalions, but be careful, there is some special troops here and there, they might try some guerrilla stuff. Try to take them as prisoners, if not, just wipe them out. Now what comes to the…

Luga Russia, 300km from Helsinki, 1505 zulu.

General-Major Larimov was standing over a map. He was pointing 16 circles over south Finland to his commanding officers.

-Here are our targets. 8 targets will get two missiles, they are marked with double circles. Hit these as soon as your launchers are ready. After launching, move to next launch positions, re-loaders are there. They are very well camouflaged. We have also two other launch positions if things get busy. The other missile brigades will hit later. Air Defense is fully alerted all the time. Launch coordinates have been send to your launchers. Any questions?

-No sir!

-Alright, this is it. Davai, let’s do some rockenroll. Battle stations!

Larimov light a cigarette and sit down to a wooden ammo box and started to listen the radio traffic that increased like hell. ”Suka bljat, have mercy on our poor souls…” he thought and hold the lighter in his sweaty palm…

…to be continued…

Part 10

Russia, Moscow NDCC War Room 1500 zulu.

Huge screen had a flaming Russian flag. It cross faded to a bird perspective picture, flying over vast forests and mountains, air was clear and you could see a part of the Eagles wing…

”Russija… eternal and strong, forever our home… one nation, under God and his will… time has come, our century is beginning… no emotions, no room for evil, simple it is…”

The voice over was like an old beer commercial, cowboy stuff. You could hear that the speaker had has his share of ethanol and cheap cigarettes. He was actually a famous actor Alexander Shirvindt… the picture cross-faded to strong images of Russian history, the ancient knights and heroic saints stuff, small clips of WW2 with pilots diving to attack, huge explosions and stuff…

”…if you poke the Bear, you will get the Bear… for thousand years, longer than any other, we have defend our Country… from those who want our precious soil, our Rodina, our beautiful Mother Rossija… and we have prevailed and we will…”

”…forever be loyal, it is the only way… one nation, one Kreml… strong and wise with the men of Gods and the World once again knows that the Bear… is alive and stronger than ever. Rossija. Eternal.”

The picture faded back to the sky. The Eagle was circling around Kreml in a beautiful sun rise and the Russian National Anthem started. The whole HQ at the War Room stand up and started to sing it. They were simply moved, perhaps the lunch before this with few hits of vodka was a good old trick to pull out emotions. And the huge screen with massive resolution, no pixels…

-My fellow comrades, you may sit. By the order of Russian Federation government, that has been ratified in Duma, I, the acting President of Russian Federation, Sergey Shoigu, have ordered a pre-emptive attack to South Finland to secure the peace at Finnish Gulf, Leningrad and south-Carelia areas. We had intel that Finn’s were massing heavy artillery and missiles there which could reach to Leningrad and our strategic targets like nuclear reactors and energy facilities. They were also trying to explode the canal that would have flooded Vyborg and cut our railroads, roads and cause massive damage to Leningrad. Our troops are taking care of that now.

People started to clap and cheer.

-We are also revenging the barbaric attack against our President Putin and the heart of our Military. Doctors are doing the best they can. At the attack died his bodyguard secret service Colonel Pasha Murmanov who was protecting our President with his body, another bodyguard Major Yaromir Uljanov, Defense department head of Staff, Guards General Evgeny Baryshev, Air Force General-lieutenant Timur Burmosov, deputy Emergency minister Janna Puchkova…

The screen was showing all these killed people in bloody closeups in a sterile room with names, birth dates and family status, wife, kids…

-…Moscow Metropolite, his Holiness Kliment III and two children, Vova and Natasha who were there to give President Putin flowers. And tens have been wounded. I order now a minute silence for our heroes who gave their life for our Motherland.

Lights went off, the screen showed all the dead persons and candles flaming in front of an Virgin Mary with Jesus child icon. The silence was deep. Someone tried to hide his crying. Geopolitics has no emotions. Another great Russian lie.

You couldn’t see the Battalion in the dark. It was hard even on daylight. They were hidden on the tree line and covered with nets and branches. You could hear them though, all kinda klonks and yells were in the air. Iron was heavy.

-Attention! We have fire orders! All to the guns, radio silence, use the wire taps! Davai davai!

The Battalion had 18 tracked artillery guns, 152mm Akatsiyas. They were in close line formation 4km from Finnish border near Laykhalampi. All started their engines, they need power for the hydraulics and electronics. 2nd Battery’s first gun was the reference gun. It would shoot first and the others were lined with that. First gun leader, Guard Sergeant Nusrajev put his tank driver helmet on and report to the Battalion commander he was ready.

The gun blasted a 40kg shell with speed of 500m/s up in a high angel, the blast wave and muzzle flame illuminated everything around it like a camera flash, it was just much more yellow. Or orange. That shell would burst up high, 1km or lower and then come down with a parachute illuminating a 1 square mile area for 40 seconds. It was going to burst roughly 10km inside Finnish territory. It didn’t have any real purpose actually. There was no targets there, yet. This was just 6th Army Commanders idea to draw attention away the Lappeenranta area.

Now the illumination and blast wave was just more massive. Also on the other side. The Battalion commander ordered the 1st Battery to shoot randomly illuminations closer to the border and the 3rd was waiting. After 10 rounds you need to cool the barrels for awhile and then he would use the 3rd. Finn’s could hear there outgoing booms near the border and would get very nervous. Also everyone will rush out and fill internet with pictures of those illumination rounds. At the same time EW Brigade would fly drones over the area, that would certainly draw the attention there. Well, you never know, something might pop up on that intel. Besides drone based fire observation needs training…

Vainikkala railway crossing point, 40km NE from Vaalimaa 1512 zulu

Finnish border guards open the gates to let the Finnish passenger train in. Before it stopped, VDV soldiers opened fire through the windows and opened doors against the Customs building and stormed in. They have made sure that the rail would be opened for them by informing that there was some Finn’s in the train that need urgent medical help. There really was Finn’s in the train, a group of 15 hold as hostages. As soon as they have cleared the building, the train moved on. The next train was just behind them and two companies from 4th Battalion jumped to take over the area. That train also moved on after they unloaded their war machines. And then rolled in the third train, 4th Guards Kantemirovska Tank Division’s 1st Regiment, 156 tanks, T-80’s. They just rolled it to the side tracks and tank crews started their engines. They have been all the way for last 60km inside their tanks with full ammo and fuel loads. They simply turned their tanks 90 degrees and drove off the trailer with turrets turned to point back. In 20 minutes whole Regiment except 5 damaged tanks was heading to Lappeenranta that was only 20km away. And the 2nd Regiment train just passed by, it was going 30km further to cut the main road and railroad to Lappeenranta. And the 3rd was arriving in 1 hour. The Finn’s had some pre-made trenches with machine guns and rpg’s around the custom building and deeper in the way to the village but Russian intel has spotted those hours ago and it was easy to wipe them out with straight tank hits. And the mechanized infantry was cleaning the pockets, every regiment has one battalion with them and Kantemirovskaya had added also extra engineering company to this 1st Regiment. Russia didn’t fear much of the Finnish Air Force, they knew they have very limited air to ground weaponry and they also ruled the sky with their overwhelming Anti-Aircraft missile arsenal and radars and EW Brigades. Besides it was simply too costly to send a fighter against a tank, the pilot was more valuable than a whole tank company. Still they had their AA units, two companies of Tunguska’s and one Tor with them, one company guarded the Vainikkala area, one company moved with the 1st. 3rd was with the HQ unit that was on the move with the 1st regiments 1st battalion. The 2nd was on the lead and in front of them was the recon company with civilian cars and the silent BRMD’s and some EW stuff. What they feared was mines and infantry. But since they have surprised Finns quite good, there was not even those. Just stunned civilians watching from their windows and taking videos and picts of them. But that was nothing to worry about now, they drove fast in the dark December freezy night, it was just 15 kilometers to the town.

-Sergeant, take a line to HQ’s!

-Yest!

Pskov VDV 76th Divisions Guards Communication Specialist Sergeant Tyartsev tapped some buttons and gave the handset to Major Lezye. The line went from the armored communication vehicle to the railroad.

-Da, there’s a checkpoint and two BMD’s. Also the alcohol storage is destroyed but the cigarettes we keep.

-Yest. You have earned them. Leave some to the 25th. We send helo to pick up the wounded.

-Yest. Adin tri nol, over.

Lonely drone flew over them in a darkening night. From east. It was own. Nashe.

Finland, road 3513, 17km from Vaalimaa, Russian border 1525 zulu.

Reserve Office School Captain Tervala was leading 6 trucks column filled with volunteer officer conscripts from anti-tank and engineers companies. They had 120 anti-tank mines, 50 anti-tank NLAW’s and a bunch of 66mm LAW’s. And personal weapons. Conscripts were loading their clips, two with armor piercing and tracers, others with full jackets. They were roughly a company. 72 men. Another similar group was pushing trough the civilian traffic few kilometers up north at road 7. They were formed from Reserve Officer Schools 1st and 2nd company. They had also fire observers and recons with them. Also other groups were formed, that school has all branches, Artillery, Anti-Aircraft, Engineers, Communications, Infantry, Recon… and they were all basic trained, gone trough special education and been in multiple drills already. And they got the spirit. When they asked for volunteers, only few said no. They had kids or other reasons, totally acceptable and they stay on the supply formations. That had to work also. But fucking hell they were scared. Sky was full of illumination rounds. They could hear the shooting Russian artillery in the clear cold December air, it has just been Finland’s 100th Birthday and here they were, thinking of Winter War. 20 year old boys. Or men. Or both.

-There is a tank regiment at Torfyanovka, that artillery is shooting from 4km from the border behind it. That whole Brigade is there, 138th. We are going to stop behind that hill, see that farm? Turn there and drive under the trees.

-Yes Captain.

The driver was Finnish Army warrant officer, one of the military trainers in the anti-tank company. They both knew very well the surroundings here. It was their job to know. On the other trucks was also a warrant officer or a officer from the School, they were making 6 teams, all lead by a one.

-Okay my brothers in arms, from now on, I am just Tervala. We have a job to do. Together. Unload the trucks, keep in air cover, get some spruce branches and make yourself well camoed. Listen and smell everything, there is Russian recon here, don’t use any lights, those illumination rounds will give us enough light. Understood?

-Yes… yes sir.

-Now fear. We all have it. But so does the others. Russian tanks burn good. And goes off with a big bang. You want to sit in a machine like that knowing that anywhere can be a angry Finn with anti-tank weapon?

Somebody laughed, it started to spread…

-…or angry mines? Okay, we have no own tanks on this area so any tank or BMP or similar is a target. Watch out for civilians, try to route them to safety. Use your radios only in real emergency. Remember the flare signals. You all leaved your cell phones to the barracks? And left then on? Good. Check that again from each others, one phone can kill us all.

-Sir, do we get back up?

-Back up is on it’s way. Battalion is formed in Kotka, it will arrive soon. We will have our drones feeding intel and artillery battery and heavy mortars will cover us in one hour.

-Our own?

-Yes, 122mm artillery battery and heavy mortar company from school. I will be the FO. Stinger teams are on the way, one platoon for us. We don’t have any copters on the area so all flying is a target. But don’t start shooting drones, it’s useless unless it is low. Use the armor piercing and tracers against helos. After you shoot, change your position. If the helo is close, shoot it with the rpg.

-Guys, remember Ukraine. They are fighting like Lions. They have stopped Russian Army. Now it is our turn to take example. They took example of our Winter War, we are brothers with them now. Brothers in Arms. Hopefully NATO will join us in this fight. But that is not in our hands. Now lets show some Finnish Perkele!

-Perkele! To the end!

The group gathered their weapons, engineers took the mines and some rpg’s, anti-tank guys the rest. Silently they scattered to the dark forest. Like wolfs smelling blood…

Russia, Valaam Monastery 1555 zulu

Alexander Dugin was sitting in a small monk’s room dressed up like a one and writing his diary. He liked that and was actually part of the secret ”Modern Days Templars” organization that has members from all over the World, also Vatican. He was the Grand Master. They were a ”Hybrid collection of Traditionalists” or something like that. Collection of nut-heads and conspirators. They were actually a FSB operation and it wasn’t hard to recruit people from Church, any church, to this group that promised to restore ”God and Kings”, demolish the godless global village idea. Because these people didn’t want to loose their power and they all hate young people with their iPhone’s and Androids… ”God doesn’t need an iPad!” was one of their favorite slogans. Some said that that Breivik’s, the Norwegian far-right monsters ”Manifesto” was written by FSB. It had so much detailed information and deep knowledge that a one simple guy couldn’t do it. Some said that it was partly written by Dugin. But it was not a coincidence that they were very close with far-right. It was their ”street army” in Europe and Russia. And they openly dreamed of a revolution. And that was happening in Russia. Funny thing was that they got Muslim friends. After all, Jesus was also a saint in Quran…

” …Those foolish Finns. They have been asking themselves all the time that why in earth would Russia attack them. They have no oil, gas or another resources, they are peaceful people, they have good relationship with Russia and other parts of the World. They are advanced society in many levels and have strong mentality to defend their country… Yes, all of that is true. But once again a nation sees itself like a selfish person does: as a single creature that should concentrate on what is important for only him. And this is what we have couraged and this is how we control our east neighbors Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and so on. And this is how we controlled Finland for years after WW2. We have tons of material of this stuff in the cellars, we have all the names and connections, we have made deep psychological analyses of the entire establishment, not hard, the nation is only 5 million people, the ruling class is only 1000 people. And we didn’t need to get the society behind our actions, all we needed to keep it isolated. Believing in its own strengths, trusting us and not seeing the big picture. The Big Picture. That Finland is the weak part of the chain, the chain of European Union. We are not attacking Finland. Just like we were not attacking only Ukraine, we are attacking West. We are breaking the West. We fear the West because we are weak. We have lost our soul, people don’t watch our movies, young generations listen some weird drug music and don’t believe in the God and the Holy Spirit. Pussy Riot is more popular in West than our singing Babushkas. Homosexuality is popular, that means lower birthrate, that means weak nation. We change this. We will restore ”Imperial Russia”, we will have order like USSR and the Glory of Empire. Oh those Finns, they didn’t see that the route to kick down European Union was going through them. Of course we don’t attack NATO directly. They have nuclear deterrence. We give NATO a middle finger because we want Finns think that it is dangerous, that seeking membership is dangerous. And my God it has been easy. Some Finns have knew this all the time. But we have played a good friend for so many years that we are now inside the most pro-NATO party. We have so much money in Finnish Banks that if we pull that out, Finnish economy will collapse. I believe they are doing it right now. World is chaotic. Russia is chaotic. That needs to be controlled. Our greatest enemy is ourselves. There are those who dare to ask why and those who are strong enough to say shut the fuck up. Liberals in West, those annoying little children with their progressive thoughts, oh how easily the Pope stepped on our side. He understands the value of Tradition. And the power and wealth it has behind it. Christianity. Conservatism. Nationalism. Corruption. Our four horsemen…”

…to be continued… soon. 😉

This is fiction, raw method, with some bloody facts… sorry for not correct English, will be corrected on the run… with Love from Finland. 🙂 Follow updates on twitter >

Part 11

-Yest. Now we wait for the final go. Give me the target list and timings… what’s this targets 23 and 24… oh suka, moving targets… updates coming and going to launchers?

-Da, every two seconds. They are big… and slow moving targets, sir!

-Okay, give me the handle. I’ll speak to the boys… 26th Missile Brigade soldiers! Very soon we will blow some serious steam. We will launch in intervals, wait for your number! Your Motherland will be proud of you, we will crush the enemy and force it to knees! This is what we are for! This is your General-Major Larimov. Out.

Timing. You would think that it’s just the same when the missiles hit, after all these targets were far away from each others and would get the same devastation… but this was the first strike. It’s psychological impact was as important as the physical one, actually it was much more… They planned to hit all targets at the same second. 24 four ton missiles with 800kg warheads coming from the sky at mach 7, you can’t hear those coming by the way, and blowing off at the same time will cause massive chaos in communications networks, emergency services, military, media, social media, international media, political decision-making… you just name it. It will show that the enemy can do almost what ever they want. And this Iskander missile had nuclear capability. But they were not planning to use nukes. Not yet. They have shown with the dirty bombs that they can do it and are ready for it, if needed. By contaminating the Lovisa nuclear plant area they blocked out the option that Finn’s could explode it against their advancing troops. And the psychological impact was huge. Finland just celebrated its 100th birthday and this whole Russian operation was bigger than Pearl Harbor. Nuclear holocaust was now in every Finns head. Iskander was a missile that could be controlled in all phases, from the launch till the target. It had its own decoys and electronic jamming capabilities, it could evade anti-ballistic missiles, but Finn’s didn’t have those. And NATO wouldn’t shoot those because… reasons. And the Finnish Air Defense’s best missile was AMRAAM, middle range missile, the land version. They have it also on the F-18 Hornets but those were on the way to Sweden. It had a kill probability of 59% against air targets but against mach 7 Iskanders… zero. Iskander was a single stage missile, it had mass over 4500kg, the energy at speed of 2100m/s even if the warhead doesn’t blow… was enormous. It’s bunker buster version had a hard metal penetrator and could get through 8 meters of concrete. They have also other goals with this strike… and there was two other Brigades with missiles ready at Carelian Isthmus and near Murmansk…

-Yes, sir! All units, all units, this is not a drill, this is not a drill…

The NATO War room start to bust like never before. This didn’t happen even during the Cold War, no missiles were launch from USSR or Russia to Europe since… ever. And now 24 nuclear capable medium range missiles were flying towards Finland 2000km per hour. And their range was like 500km or more. The dots on the screen were now in reality under heavy radar pinging and tracking. Missiles send data from that via satellite and straight links back to Russia, it was giving a full report of everything around it in real-time. Real time. Real time to target one was roughly 17 minutes… no, 16…

-Alarm? Yes. Hit the button. Alarm everything. Every mother fucking thing! Try shooting them with something. And get ready, we are probably one of those targets… Mr. President, if I may, I would advise you to get the hell out of here with your crew. You have 15 minutes to get in that APC and drive fast away from this point, understand? We need command structure and here are now president and the head of army… shit the whole HQ…

-General Kaski… this bunker will hold? If we stay…

-No, this won’t hold a bunker buster. I urge you, please leave. Now!

-General, I’m very sorry for all this. I fucked up…

-Sauli. Run Perkele! Run!

-yes… of course… where’s my bodyguards? Fuck fuck fuck….

-Stunnberg, you should go also.

-General Kaski, I will stay here. There will be always some one leading this shit. You know that.

-24 missiles. They can wipe out our whole command structure if they know where we are.

-General, don’t worry about that now. Let’s try to save some civilians. Push the alarm in every city, coastline, television, radio, internet… all what there is. Now!

-Yes, sir. Sorry sir. Okay, Listen up! Use every channel we have, alert of missiles, they can hit anywhere, we have 14 minutes! Go Go Go! This is not a drill! Saatana! And stop calling your homes! We have a Nation to save! Captain there, call national broadcasting company, put the emergency alert running on TV… text: seek shelter, possible missile strike in south Finland, follow our updates, repeat seek shelter…

…and so in few minutes whole Finland was in a state of horror coma. Of course they thought it was going to be the end of World, a nuclear strike. Funny how people act when they lose the thin layer of civilization or social behavior on their gray layer on brains and start acting on the fear of death. It was horrible. Gun fanatics battled up and took on the street, those ”preppers” did the same but they had a plan, an individual own survival plan… they rushed with guns and cars to the markets, pharmacies, gas stations… Older people just locked their doors and stared the TV, younger people rushed into the net, facebook, whatever and started to yell, they filled internet with chaotic information and the next thing was that this popped up in all media centers and newsrooms in the World… Breaking… NATO has confirmed… and then there was those who rushed with their cameras and phones, periscopes, live feeds and whatevers to the streets and published everything. That moment… it became one of the biggest moments in media history…

Russia Moscow, NDCC Cyber Department 1530 zulu

General Topor was thriving. This was her dubstep. Information war dubstep. Death step. They actually played some psytrance and one of the screens was showing these fractals and bubbles and deep shit stuff. It was the new generation that ruled…

-Okay, Listen up! We have a launch! Push out operation ”Red Bear”! Social media, go for the ”Apocalypse!” theme, fill net with rumors of a nuclear attack, say that those are nukes! It will catch like fire! Time is now 1530 in London, it’s morning in USA and markets are opening! Let’s burn some money! Okay, spread rumors that the Russian oil lines from Baltic Sea are blocked and those missiles will cause gas and oil exports to drop 60% from Russia, we need to get the oil price up! Like skyrocket! Like a fucking Iskander, da!? Yeah! And keep Finnish net open! We need to get those booms and fireworks to the world! And remind that those are some bloody damn accurate missiles! And made in Russia! Okay, little green men now all over Finland! Keep that military coup shit up! We will get stuff were Finnish police is shooting looters and other similar, use that! And ethnic cleansing! Finns are now hunting Russian civilians in Finland! We will get that stuff soon too! …Oh what?

-I said we have already! Here’s video from Helsinki, some far-right people are beating two Russians on the street, hard-core, kicking on the head, bloody as fuck, one is woman…

-Great! Make that boom all over, route that to our media, that will be in category ”Breaking!”. Okay, we have 14 minutes to the Big Bang! Be ready, there will be stuff on Finnish facebook, twitter, whatevers and all over, take that shit and go for it! The World is going to shit its pants! This is our Bear roar! You don’t fuck the Bear, the Bear…

-…Fucks You!

They all shouted those last words and rushed to their posts. This was a fucking mayhem. This was going to be Natalya Topor’s Triumph. She will be the next Information Minister or what would they call that post anyway, in the next Russian government. That will show the arrogant British Londoners that who is who… fucking Rothamn’s Media Academy…

-Hey, you are the Swedish departments team leader?

-Yes, whats up?

-I’m coming with you, need to brief you more about the operation ”Side Step”

-Oh that. It’s up?

-They will go for it. Need to check some details. Some changes.

-Gotska Sandö?

-Da. It’s a bold fuck. Some bold fuck…

And so internet was starting to ripple and burn, routers were heating, pixels were flicking, millions of coolers pushing offices air hot making workers sweating, lithium batteries drying, slowly but steady the words ”What the fuck?” were filling the air… It was amazing how things that happen 10 000 miles away were suddenly in real-time, real time on your eyes and ears, and on millions of eyes and ears… there was already hundreds of live streams from Finland looking to the sky, alarms were sounding, people were yelling and chaos was burning. This was going to be mental Bonfire. Knife party. Road to Valhalla. Nobody want’s live forever. Some deep shit. Or as those base jumpers would say ”Super Cool” or something like that. Horror and chaos porn. Stuff that western media loves. Or the commercials love. Red Bull logo on a machine gun. The whole idea was use Western media and its weak point: click baiting, scandals, booms and bangs, sex against itself. And gain some serious points to Russia. To make it Big. They were already the bad guys so they thought that what the fuck, let’s be bad then in big time! But they had also another plan, to get oil prices raising, western economics in chaos and Russian reputation back to its feared and USSR era greatness. After those missiles will hit, all armies in the world will turn their heads to Russian military industries that made cheap bulk stuff but now have proven to make a damn accurate and working missile. Sad that it had to be Finland. But geopolitics has no emotions…

The final target list came out of the printer. General Natalya Topor looked it and smiled. Some serious flames and in just few minutes. She looked at the big screen and the dots were flying steady like birds. On one screen was a live pict of one of the Iskanders, it was still pointing up on the dark sky but it steadily started to lower the angel and they see the black horizon against last rays of sun and the small light points down there some where. She checked the target number and the missile and it was heading to Kymi-river/Keltti. Then she realized that they were going to flood Kymi-river all the way down to Kotka, Baltic Sea… Sweet Lord our planners are some motherfucker geniuses, she thought and jumped on the table to see the screen better. Earth, Water and Fire.

Bonfire. That was her code-name in FSB…

…to be continued… stay tuned…

Part 12

” Åland. What the fuck happened at Åland? How did we not learn from Crimea? ”

Retired Commander of the Finnish Army, General Stunnberg in his memoirs 2021.

Åland was ancient archipelago between Finland and Sweden. It rise after Ice Age from the sea, just like most parts of Finland and Sweden. The first people arrived from west and south, it developed in the same phase as Sweden and Finland, Vikings had over 60 castles or similar there, there was plenty of seals, birds, fish and enough land to grow crops. When the modern age come, it was part of Sweden, like Finland. Or Russian Empire, the wars have been coming and going in these areas in history like a clockwork. The usual hour was 70 years. Or something like that. But that Island, or series of Islands was defenetly closer to Swedish culture than Finnish. They spoke Sweden, had Swedish traditions and wanted to be part of Sweden. They wanted to be part of Sweden but after WW2 when they realized that Finland protected them from Russia or USSR they find a mutual respect and United Nations had demilitarized it so Finland make it an autonomous region in Finland, the only one. It had its own Government, the Landskapsregering and own laws. They paid taxes to their own government, had many advantages in shipping, trade and tourism etc. The average income for a Åland citizen was good, Åland was the 20th wealthiest of the EU’s 268 regions, and the wealthiest in Finland, with a GDP per inhabitant 47% above the EU mean. So yeah, life was good there. And why not. So what the fuck happened?

Åland, Marienhamn Airport, 7th December 2017 zulu 0020

All looked like just two normal charter flights was coming in. Tourists from Kazakhstan, some wealthy millionaires have reserved a whole spa and village area over year ago. High class VIP persons and so on. Very usual business. Besides Åland has its own banks and were very active in international matters. Money doesn’t have a nationality they say… Customs officer Eva Eriksson was getting ready to stamp the passports, even it was late night, the local time was 01:20, she was smiling and the other customs worker, security guard was also relaxed and joking about Borat, in Swedish of course that the visitors wouldn’t understand he was making fun of them. Then suddenly some one yelled ”Jävla, vi har en bomb här!” and a loud bang and flash went off. The next thing was that Eva and the security guard had a 9mm Glock pistol on their foreheads and the VIP visitors stormed through the metal detector and around it with exposed western machine-gun MP5’s and start securing the airport like professionals. The guy holding Eva said in perfect Swedish that ”Nothing to worry my love, we are from Europol and we heard that terrorists are coming to hit here tonight, we are securing this place, you won’t be hurt. No show me the control room.” And Eva did what she was told. The security guard hesitated and demand some papers, with a Glock in his head… and the guy holding the gun took an Europol official Identification card from his pocket. Of course it was just a brilliant fake. But it did the job. The guard said that he can help them and start to show them places. Meanwhile the second group from the other plane was already storming in the Air traffic control tower. There was only two workers and after they were told that this was a Europol operation and Eva confirmed, they started to co-operate. The only guys that spoke, spoke pretty good Swedish. Others were quiet and used masks, all the usual secret operators stuff. Nothing indicated to Russia. At that moment…

Two Russian Navy transport planes had taken of from Levashevo military air field, Leningrad 40 minutes before. They had informed their route to Kaliningrad and used transponders and all normal stuff that they won’t alarm NATO to come and check them. But near Åland they switched all those off and dived low and went max speed toward Marienhamn. In 12 minutes they have landed there and emptied their cargo: heavy weapons, Russian stingers, rpg’s etc. and two companies of Russian Special Forces, Spetsnatz. And at that time in Pskov 6 Antonovs were loaded and airborne with a Battalion of VDV, Russian Elite soldiers, Parachuters. This was their recon and spearhead group, they had also with them BMD-3’s, some other small Russian APC’s and a lot of ammo. On their left and right side fled 4 Su-24’s with electronic jamming devices, chaffs and EW stuff to make those big birds disappear from radars. And another column of Antonov’s was behind them with same kinda escort. They fly low and fast. The NATO radar network was first confused, but since those were on international airspace, they thought it was just another transport flight to Kaliningrad. But near Åland those Big Birds suddenly gain some height and prepared to drop their troops to the fields north from Marienhamn, only 2km from the city. And then it suddenly was all too late. Russian Baltic Fleet ships near the region started their Electronic Warfare stuff, jammed radars, gave false targets, make whole sectors blind etc. And the cyber department from Moscow had implanted a genius attack against Finnish radars and make them nonoperational for several hours. And the Russian Air Force take of in big time, they suddenly scrambled 3 squadrons, also Russians scrambled normal empty passenger planes and full passenger planes with troops to Marienhamn. You can’t shoot down fighters flying next to passenger planes…

Åland Governor Peter Linblom had a letter few weeks earlier where was invitation to a meeting in Leningrad to talk about the possible second gas-pipe plans cross Baltic Sea. There was many important guys, like the former prime-minister Paavo Lipponen, Nordea Banks Nalle Wahlroos, Russian top bankers, ministers from different states and levels etc. Also with him was Åland’s monopoly betting company PAF’s CEO and Åland bankers. The meeting was very high-class, well Gasprom was multi-billion company and didn’t save on expenses on situations like these. After very nice dinner at the bar, or it was more like a collection of gold and ancient Rome statues in a low-key lightening with smell of exotic and rare wood, one Gasprom high rank guy approached him and started to talk about the possibly building of that gas pipe. That how hard it is, the supply routes from Leningrad were difficult at the winter, the middle Baltic Sea was difficult at high seas, that they would have a use for some building units to rent hotels and places to rest at the Åland Islands etc. Governor Lindblom was delighted and said that if the project will start, there’s no problem with that. Then the Gasprom guy started to talk about that they have also heavy equipment, machinery, ships and stuff that can use some harbor and dock space if Åland has anything that kinda stuff to offer. Lindblom started to see money piles in his eyes and said that of course, he will check and said that we can surely get a deal if the price is just right. The Gasprom guy smiled and said that money wasn’t their problem, it was the smallest problem in their company. Then they both laughed and ordered a second round.

-We have budget of 9600 million dollars for this pipe.

-That is some serious money mister Gubaroff.

-Oh just call me Petja. Yes, these things tend to be costly. But they also bring working places and helps economy, what you think?

-No no, we are autonomous. We have our own laws. In banking too. We are a special status area in European Union.

-Well goddamn. That might solve some problems we have…

-I can assure you that we are as tight in bank security as Switzerland is.

-Really? Wou. That sounds promising! You know, we have billions to transfer to other banks because of the payments systems and taxes and currency problems… you name it!

-Tell me about it! Yeah, we are very familiar with those questions. By the way that Nordea head Nalle Wahlroos is here, why not talk with… or nah, let’s talk with our bank leaders first, shall we?

-Sure, why not. Let’s have a meeting one day. We can fly to Marienhamn? Or you like to come to Leningrad?

-It’s all up to you Petja. When it suits you best. Here’s my card, let our secretaries schedule this okay?

-Harashoo. Sounds good. Now lets forget business. You have tasted our new black vodka by the way? It is awesome, let’s go to the best nightclub here! You should see the waitresses, they are like… can’t describe. C’mon davai davai!…

Now few weeks later he was waking up to roaring planes and some shooting. A special force unit was knocking his door. His dog was barking like mad. He was confused and cursed the Finnish military having a uninformed drill again… he went to the door and opened it. There was four guys with masks and full military gear that immediately rushed in and secured the place. At the door he stared Petja Gubareff who was in full military gear and had colonels stars on his shoulder. Russian colonels stars…

few hours later…

-And here is a letter from our Sergey Ivanov, Presidential Chief of Staff. You might know him, he was here last summer…

-Umh, oh that guy. He speaks fluent Swedish… should I open this?

-Yes, of course my friend Peter! It is for you!

They had some tea and a bottle of good brandy opened. Peter Lindblom looked quite shaky, he was totally surprised. Russian Army at Åland. Last time that was like… forever. He heard that this was a peace keeping drill, that the Finn’s have forgotten to tell him. They played to him president Niinistö’s phone-call about it and he was outraged, how can Finland not inform him…

-Is this letter real?

-Of course it is my friend. We can call him right away if you want!

-I mean that… this is some serious stuff. I don’t know if the international laws…

-International laws? You are an autonomous area, you can rule yourself. You have your own government. And Independent Åland… wouldn’t that be something people have always dreamed? Own money, own… everything. Think the possibilities. You would be a President. President.

-President. Yes. But President of a demilitarized Åland. We have no army…

-Did you read the letter? Russia will assure to Åland that it will secure its non-military status and come to help if needed. We will make this clear to Finland and Sweden and NATO.

-But then we are in a military pact? And that is not…

-…good? My friend. Look. The letter says that you… I mean Åland rents to Russia Föglö and Kökar islands. Those two little pieces, totally meaningless areas to you. You rent them to us for the construction of the new gas pipe, we need storage area and so on. We also put there some minor military elements to protect the construction and secure the Åland Islands also. Just some anti-aircraft missiles and maybe company or two infantry. We also will build new harbor and dock there, those construction ships need heavy supplies. And we will buy all our needs from Åland, like food, water, electricity…

-How much did you say that Russia is ready to pay rent?

-9 Billion dollars. And a 20 year deal. Your share will be 3%. That’s 270 million dollars.

-What?!

-Well, it’s normality in Russia. Besides a President must be a wealthy man. How else he could be respected and rule his nation, eh? And did I mention that this doesn’t include the money coming from Gasprom? They are ready to invest 3 Billion to Åland Banks after it gets its Independence.

-Jävla… I need a drink…

-Think that you can say to all your people that they don’t need to pay taxes for 4 years after they vote Yes for the Independency. And that those Islands, Kökar and Föglö will be open for your people, they can still live there normally, all 800 people… yes, we counted.

-Can they also fish there, do they need passports or something…

-Of course they can Peter. And no, we need the passports my friend here. After all we are going to rent those, not buy. And when the gas pipe is ready, we don’t need those so much anymore.

-Jävla jävla jävla… how do you think we can arrange that kinda Independence movement or vote here? It has to be legal. I mean internationally legal…

-My friend, Peter. We have learned a lot from Crimea. It was a mistake. We should have just stay on the Sevastopol rent deal and not occupy it. But now we have learned that things can be done differently. In the proper and legal way. You speak to your government, then you decide and speak to the people, we arrange a vote, call UN here and that’s it. Well, if UN doesn’t show up, we will find some legal organization to do it.

-What if my government hears about the 3%? They need money also?

-We make an offer to your government. That they get their share too. Like 0.5%? Or 1%? For each of course. You can say that you get the same deal. And the rent is paid with cash to your banks, 5 years at once, that is umhh… yes, it’s 2250 million dollars at once. Right after the vote.

-And 3% of that is 67,5 million…

-Yes it is. Quite serious money or what Peter? president Peter Lindblom…

-Holy shit. Shit. You know… I need to call my government here. Can you tell them the same thing you told me? Just forget the 3% part…

-Sure, no problem. Just wait a second…. Soldier!

-Yest colonel!

-Go get more brandy and some of that best caviar, snacks and fruits. We need to make this table look good for our guests, or what Peter?

-That’s… a very good idea. Thanks. Petja…

And so started a one hellova coup that nobody could never see coming. The rise of Nationalism and Corruption… Two Horseman was galloping over the Baltic Sea sky…

Yes, this is raw version 1.0 The Russian military troops here are real, existing troops. Some names are real, somes are not. Also for reasons some facts are not ”100% correct”. This is a possible near future scenario. And yes, I support Finland’s and Sweden’s full NATO membership. For reasons. Good reasons. 😉
